The Los Angeles Lakers are having a season worth forgetting this year. With a plague of injuries and inconsistencies, they are out of the play-in tournament as well. While it looked like things couldn’t get any worse, an update had fans fuming. Recently, reports came out stating Kendrick Nunn could be out for the remainder of the season. This caused an outrage among the Laker fans on Twitter.
In the off-season, the Lakers made some big moves. Notably, their biggest move was bringing on former MVP, Russell Westbrook to the roster. However, there were other moves that had fans’ excitement going. One of them was the entry of Kendrick Nunn. While on the Heat, Nunn solidified himself as an effective scorer. However, he never got a chance to suit up for his new team as he is dealing with an injury.
Now it looks like fans will have to wait until the next season to see Nunn in action.

Lakers fan furious after latest Nunn update
While the season doesn’t get any better for the Laker fans, they had to deal with more bad news. According to Chris Haynes, Kendrick Nunn will be sitting out for the remainder of the season. This was not taken well by the fans on Twitter as they reacted to the heartbreaking news.
The fans’ frustrations can be understood as injuries have been a common theme for the purple and gold this season. Despite having three of the top players in the NBA, the Lakers have struggled to find any grip. This comes from the constant injuries to their stars. Even now Anthony Davis remains to be on the sidelines with another injury. Similar with Nunn, who is yet to put on the jersey this season.

In his two seasons with the Heat, the 26 year old impressed with his scoring abilities. He averaged 14.6 points and shot 38% from three in his final season with the Heat. In addition, his presence would bring in the much-needed youth the Lakers desperately need at the moment. However, the party is now ruined as Nunn will not be taking the floor anytime this season. With the Lakers’ season in jeopardy now, even AD can’t do much but watch from the sidelines.

With the purple and gold the 11th seed now, their only hope rests in LeBron James and Russ. Despite his struggles all season, Westbrook has picked up his game in the past few contests. On the other hand, the King is leading the league in scoring but is also doubtful with a sprained ankle. With the heap of problems on their shoulders, do you think the Lakers will make their way into the playoffs? Let us know in the comments below.
