A cloud has fallen over Lakerland. After getting off to an encouraging 4-3 start to its first games without LeBron James during his current right tendon injury, your Los Angeles Lakers have gone 1-3 in their most recent bouts.
It really seems like LA's play-in tournament chances could be in jeopardy, should James not report for duty during the rest of the 2022-23 NBA regular season. Fans are turning on Anthony Davis, Anthony Davis is turning on Anthony Davis (he's now blamed himself for losses twice within a week -- and he's right for at least one of them), and LA has some pressing decisions to make on a tandem of young free agent guards this summer. We also unpacked oodles of other fun items.
