Boston Celtics, because of which he will be out of action for at least one week, and at most two weeks. This outburst is not only a heavy blow for him personally, but also for the Los Angeles Lakers. The team, which suffered a loss against the Brooklyn Nets in New York without him, is now facing major problems. With James being a key player, this presents a serious problem for the Lakers, who must now adjust to the situation and find a way to function without their leader.
When a player like LeBron is not on the court, the whole team is forced to reorganize. At this moment, the Lakers have to find support in Dončić, who had to take a big burden on his shoulders. Although the young Slovenian showed great motivation, injuries still remain the most obvious problem for the Lakers, which can seriously affect their ranking in the standings.
Dončić takes responsibility, but the injuries do not go away
After James was injured, Luka Dončić had to take responsibility for leading the team. However, even though he played some tough games, it turned out that he is not immune to injuries either. In the last games, Dončić was not at his best - out of 48 shots, he hit only 19, which clearly indicates that he was not completely in shape. His back problems, which began to manifest themselves in the game against the New York Knicks, have now worsened, and these pains are affecting his game. Although he tries to continue, you can definitely tell that something is wrong.
NBA insider Jovan Buha shared new information
"I think Luka has a problem with his back. It was bothering him even before the game with the Knicks, it got worse against Boston and in the end it spilled over. Against Brooklyn, it seemed that he was suffering from an injury and he was walking strangely with back pain. This is something that has to be taken care of. The Lakers are plagued by injuries at a very bad time and this can be a problem and reveal the truth about this team," Buha said.
