Lakers’ Bad Injury Luck Gets Even Worse With Latest Update

The Lakers’ bad injury luck has been getting even worse with the latest update that came out recently. The Lakers have not been playing well to start the season. It is clear that there are several issues with the current roster and it problems are coming out clear as day. With the second loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2 weeks, many fans are wondering what the problem is.

Well, one of the issues is injuries. The Lakers have been hit with the injury bug all season. This includes LeBron James, who has already had to miss several games. Head coach Frank Vogel recently talked about the injuries and what it means for the team going forward.

“I’m still not where I’m close to feeling like they’re back,” Vogel said. “THT is making progress. I believe yesterday he started shooting the ball with the hand that’s injured. So that’s a positive step, getting closer, but still not to where I’m thinking about having them in games.”

Before the game against the Thunder, Frank Vogel talked about LeBron’s injury.

“There is obviously concern, but hopefully this is something that’s minimal and hopefully he’ll be back soon,” Vogel told reporters.

“We want to be responsible with his minutes, and, like you just said, get to the finish line as healthy as possible, but also as in rhythm as possible,” Vogel said. “That’s the balance that we strike throughout the year.”

“We want those guys to get as many minutes as they can together, but this was one of the reasons we all felt good about trading for Russell,” Vogel said. “Being able to handle stretches where we don’t have LeBron or AD better than we did last year.”

Russell Westbrook has had a rough start to the season, which some are calling expected. He has struggled in every situation he has been in and it is becoming clear that it might be hard to work with for the Lakers. Will he be able to get it together and play as a team?
