He added,?“It’s something that’s been nagging him for a few weeks already. It gets to the point where it just gets unbearable, and he plays through it. People that talked to me said he was really struggling with that foot”. Haynes finished it off with,?“Sometimes it flares up, different sides of his foot depending on the way he plants certain times. That might be something lingers all season long, but it reached a dire point”.

Most fans felt that without James, the Lakers’ season could already be over. The Lakers are currently the 13th seed in the Western Conference with a 25-31 record.

Can the rest of the Lakers roster manage without James?

That is a huge question put in front of the Lakers organization. Considering their team chemistry and record this season, a comeback seems questionable. Though their other star player Anthony Davis is back in the team, but fans do not seem to have a lot of trust in him due to his injury prone history.
