Los Angeles Lakers have been at the struggling end after facing a devastating defeat against Detroit Pistons on Monday with 115-103. On top of that, Anthony Davis who led the Lakers with 37 points, was injured in the game. With his injury, fans have speculated about the plan of the team with Davis’ apparent absence in the upcoming games. However, reports suggest that Lakers head coach JJ Redick already has a backup plan.
JJ Redick has a lot on his plate in terms of devastating news. The head coach has faced the defeat of his team recently and with Anthony Davis’ injury, Redick has to look for another option amid speculation of Davis’ absence. Although Davis tweaked his left ankle, he remained in the game till the end. But it is very unlikely that he would be able to continue more games until his recovery.
The Los Angeles Lakers will go for their second win in a row and get closer to moving into fifth place in the Western Conference when they host the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.
The Lakers, who have a 21-17 record, ended a three-game losing streak on Wednesday by overcoming a 66-54 halftime deficit to defeat the Miami Heat 117-108. After playing the Nets, they will visit the Los Angeles Clippers, who are currently in fifth place, on Sunday, making these next two games very important for them.
Unfortunately, the Lakers will be without not only Dorian Finney-Smith, who just welcomed his first child to his family, but also Anthony Davis on Friday. Davis has been ruled out due to a case of plantar fasciitis he has been dealing with for weeks.
