Today, the Lakers lost to the Blazers. In this crucial game, the Lakers had three main players with injuries. Among them, the thick eyebrows were ankle sprain + back spasm, Caruso had ankle soreness + calf strain, Pope It was a sprained right ankle. Although their fighting spirit was commendable, their offense was very simple after the two outside playmakers Schroder and James were missing in the game. A certain effect was achieved, but Nongmei was injured after all, and after the last quarter, his offensive ability was also limited as his physical fitness declined.
Today's thick eyebrows have made great progress in offense and defense. He blocked the opponent's layup many times at critical moments, but unfortunately the team's offense at critical moments still encountered a lot of trouble, and now they are ranked in Seventh in the Western Conference, when will James return to the game? In this regard, Vogel said that "James' absence from the game has nothing to do with his injury. He also participated in the team's training today." Obviously James' injury is not as serious as ESPN said.
In fact, coach Vogel said before that James' ankle did not tend to recur and worsen, but then ESPN announced that James' injury will take at least 4 months of truce to fully recover, and even this injury will always accompany his career At present, the Lakers and ESPN have different opinions, and I don't know who said it is true. Today, when the Lakers and the Blazers were playing, James posted on the Internet that he played poker. , and also congratulated Perkins on renewing his contract with ESPN, but did not mention about the current situation of the Lakers, which made some Lakers fans very dissatisfied.
Since Vogel said that James' truce was not due to injury, what do you think is the most fundamental reason?
