Amid a strange season defined by injuries and players going in and out of COVID protocol, the Lakers are striving to get their season on track.
While the Lakers received somewhat positive news about Anthony Davis’ injury, the depleted roster couldn’t stop the Bulls from grabbing a 115-110 win.
And it doesn’t get any easier: The Lakers come home to face Phoenix on Tuesday and San Antonio on Thursday before being featured in a Christmas Day showcase against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. With both the Lakers and the Nets missing key players to the COVID protocols — the Nets’ list includes the Big Three of James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant — that might not turn out to be the marquee matchup the TV networks envisioned.
Lakers star LeBron James looks up the scoreboard as he walks to the bench during the first half of Sunday’s game against the Bulls. “That’s what you tell yourself,” Westbrook said, “but also you’ve got to read the game because the game will tell you always what to do, whether that’s scoring more, passing more, rebounding more, whatever that may be.
