Andre Drummond Reveals Why LeBron James Pulled Him Aside During Lakers-Kings Game
Andre Drummond joined LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers to win games. He became a Laker to win a championship. However, things won’t go that easy. The Lakers entered the 2020-21 NBA season as the best team in the NBA. General Manager Rob Pelinka signed a bunch of great players in the offseason. Dennis Schroder and a few other guys signed with the team. They were great.
Anthony Davis suffered an injury on Valentine’s Day and returned a couple of weeks ago. His return to the team wasn’t of great help. The Lakers lost too many games in the regular season. LeBron suffered an injury, too. He had to miss six weeks and his team continued losing games.
LeBron is back now and he has played his first game with the team. The Lakers went against the Sacramento Kings and lost 110-106. Lakers players missed their leader. They got out of control. LeBron holds everyone together. In his first game since the recovery, LeBron, Davis, Drummond and Ben McLemore were the only players to score more than 10 points. The rest of the guys struggled to score. They “enjoyed” their night off.
