The Los Angeles Lakers are plagued with injuries. The team lost too many games in the regular season and their problems get bigger every day. Anthony Davis missed a lot of games due to his injury. The same goes to LeBron James. Many Lakers players sustained injuries and got COVID. Lakers veteran Carmelo Anthony sustained injury too. Will these problems ever end? Rob Pelinka will have to do something to upgrade the roster and find a solution to the current problem.

The team has provided an update on his injury. Luckily, he may not miss too much time. According to the report, Melo is day-to-day.

Lakers veteran Carmelo Anthony to recover from his injury

In Wednesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Melo played 33 minutes off the bench. He played just 11 minutes in the 111-110 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Yes, he did score 7 points, but his injury gave fans a terrible headache.

The veteran grabbed his right leg and started limping. The Lakers called timeout and Melo left the basketball court. It was a big blow for the Lakers and they announced that Melo would miss the rest of the game due to a hamstring strain.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said that team doctors will reevaluate Melo’s injury on Friday. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Melo has likely avoided a bad injury.

Of course, the Lakers will provide more details on the timeline for Melo’s return.

Before leaving the game, Melo scored 7 points on 2-4 shooting in just 11 minutes off the bench. When it comes to his regular season averages, Melo hits 13.6 points per game while shooting 38.9% from behind the arc.

Melo’s injury is not the biggest problem LA deals with at the moment. Everyone is so worried about LeBron. The four-time NBA champion is treating his swollen knee. Vogel said that the Lakers superstar will be missing games until his knee heals. The team listed LeBron as doubtful for the game against the city rivals. Initial reports suggest that LeBron may be good to return these days.
