Darvin Ham Makes Statement On LeBron James Injury Amid Recent Rumblings

LeBron James is missing time due to an injury and head coach Darvin Ham really hopes to see him back in the game by the end of the season. The Los Angeles Lakers are really close to the playoffs and they can’t afford another mistake. Anthony Davis is doing his best and Austin Reaves has become a dominant force. He helped the Lakers beat the Orlando Magic.

Ham works with a good group of players at the moment, but he will have to change his formula once LeBron returns to the floor. The Lakers really need their superstar on the floor. The four-time NBA champion treats a foot injury and took his walking boot not so long ago.

Ham will keep things under control until LeBron returns from his injury

Ham is happy with his current group. He has players who can actually do their job. His players “trust one another” and they have to keep moving the ball.

“I mean, we’ll navigate that when he gets here,” Ham said via the NBA Interviews YouTube channel. “When he gets back into the flow of things, LeBron, that is. But until then, I think guys are fitting well together. It’s just, some nice guys make shots, [but] some nights, they don’t. And we have to be able to – I don’t want to say suffer through – but maintain, in spite of the ball may not be going in for everyone like it should. But at the end of the day, as long as we move the ball, trust one another.

“At halftime, we had 15 assists on 20 made field goals. So, guys like Austin , Dennis [Schroder], [and] even Troy [Brown Jr.] tonight, knocking in four threes. Everybody’s doing their part [and] playing their role to the best of their capabilities. If we’re able to sustain that on both sides of the ball, it’ll buy us time to really get everybody back in and fit into a position when we’re all back whole.”

NAB experts aren’t really optimists. Chris Haynes from TNT believes that LeBron will probably miss the entire season.
