As seen in the Injury Thread…
Per McTen (Press Release at link)
Kyle Kuzma was in visible discomfort during his postgame media session last night. He is listed as doubtful for the PHX game. LeBron James will miss his fourth straight game after a brief two-game return from the high ankle sprain.
Calling it right now— Phoenix tanks to avoid us in the first round.
Going to be interesting to see if they take that route. They are 3 games up on the Clippers. That’s a lot of tanking to do right before the playoffs. _________________ 2 star model (Lebron/AD) in 2023-24 = no playoffs, again.
Can we pls get one quality win right before the playoffs start to boost morale? Can we? Can we? _________________ Lakers under Jeanie Buss: 1 championship in 10+ years. "Championships are hard."

As soon as the Lakers lost both games @Dallas, it was going to be tough to get a top 6 seed.
Now with Lebron sitting out more games to get healthy, 7/8 is like 99.8% guaranteed. _________________ 2 star model (Lebron/AD) in 2023-24 = no playoffs, again.
Must play a competitive game and give best effort. Get acclimated for the playoffs. Win or lose doesn't matter. _________________ Lakers under Jeanie Buss: 1 championship in 10+ years. "Championships are hard."

Need two more losses (today and vs NY) plus a PDX win vs Houston tomorrow to lock up #7. Then Lebron comes back and they can start winning again.
Play-in followed by PHX in rd 1 much better than 6 seed and Clips in rd 1.
It's pretty obvious to me we're tanking right now to avoid clips in the 1st round. If we had a legit chance to get the #5 slot everybody would be playing.
