Lakers needs to find some way to try winning those remaining games to stay in good position.

They’ve already slid quite a ways down the standings. I think they might need LeBron back for the last 5 games or so just to ensure they make the playoffs at this point. Looking like another 13 games from now they may actually be in jeopardy of missing the post season without some sort of winning streak.

A couple more loss will bring them down to the 6th spot. I don't how they long they're planning to bring back Anthony Davis. They can rest LeBron and heal 100% as long as they will let AD play just to avoid getting eliminated in the regular season.
This is such a really bad season for the NBA, a lot of players have been injured, most of them are superstars.
Jamal Murray just out for the remainder of the season because he torned his ACL against the GSW.

On the other hand. I like how Ben Simmons dropping some real talk to the Brooklyn Nets.

I mean he's right. This message will be a wake up call for the Brooklyn Nets to tighten up their defense, because defense could win games.

I will give a generalized answer
LeBron will soon return to play for the Lakers, and Anthony Davis has plans to return as well.
I hope they come soon and recover 100%

Is it possible for their next game against Knicks or not yet? I'm not updated with the news when they shall be back again.

Any idea or valid source when they're going to be back and after how many games if not with the game against Knicks?

Probably not, I think it will take longer for this return.

I confess that I am a little confused about the return of LJ and Davis, because some sites are talking about divergent information, and I don't know exactly when the return will be.
I even apologize if I said any wrong information. I find it interesting to expect more information from other users here on the forum.

According to ESPN, AD can return in about 2 weeks, and soon LeBron can return.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/31232943/los-angeles-lakers-anthony-davis-return-10-14-days-lebron-james-close-behind

That's why I'm also confused and didn't have time to check most of the updates because of inaccurate or different sources on the web.

Thanks for the source and that's much better.

You can see that the source is ESPN which no doubt that this is a valid source rather than into those other links that floating around but to look up in depth then they do usually have common source too.

About Lakers on needing to catch up and star players should really go back into the court if they dont like to miss out the playoffs spot.If it would take some time or long then

that would mainly affect their standing but well it doesnt matter much as long they could able to go through playoffs.For sure the team wont really be letting that thing to happen.

What's everyone's thoughts on the 7-10 spot play in tourny?

I actually don't think its that bad. In the older 5 game series it was 3 loses and out so 2 is not that much different. Its not even 7th in the league but 7th in the conference. Without looking can remember the last time a 7 or 8 was in the finals anyway so typically they get booted fairly quick anyway.

It should be more games. At least the last game ( loser from 7th/8th and winner from 9th/10th), should be on 2 wins. It is a bit to much to be rank 7th and then lose chances for playoff after you lose 2 games.

Drummond game was really affected, they've lost against the Knicks today, and Drummond has a terrible game and this is due to the injury so he is not 100% ready. They try to fight it out, but it wasn't enough as Knicks is one of the hottest team right now. Let's wait till LeBron and AD is back, and the worst situation is that they are going to be back in the playoffs.

Yeah, the Lakers needed his help, but he made only three shots for 25 minutes. Maybe you're right that he still feels uncomfortable on the court due to injury, but it's weird, considering that he had a minor injury(toe contusion), and he was able to grab ten rebounds in this game.

I see that too, he can take some shots and try helping his teammates, it's going to be tough now as they continue losing.

Drummond might feeling something and not comfortable just like what we've seen, that minor injury might hurting him and affecting his game,
it's up to LeBron and AD to carry the loads once they've become available and healthy.

Lakers needs to find some way to try winning those remaining games to stay in good position.

Hmm, not sure about them somewhat need to play just because they are going to fall on 6th or 7th spot. Lakers should know this, they should allow both to play if they are healthy, not just because of the current position that they have, they have to look long term here.

Maybe they will let the current team run as long as they can and will only play Davis if he is fully healed and healthy. No need to rush their superstar players, yes we know that falling to 6th or 7th spot will be a tough one as you will face a top seed, but nevertheless if Lebron and AD comes healthy and fresh they will have a good chance to upset those top seed teams.

I do not think that Lakers will be going down as much as 7th in the standings. Sure it may "look" bad for them, but remember this is the team that is fighting for a title, so it doesn't matter to them if they are at 8th spot or 1st spot because it doesn't matter if they are facing the next best team (or maybe best team) or worst team, they are fighting for a ring so they should be capable of beating everyone, doesn't matter how good that team could be.

Plus the top spot is Suns and Jazz right now, does anyone really believe that either of those teams have a chance against Lakers? Maybe Nuggets or Clippers could have a bigger chance but Lakers should be capable of beating them if they want the ring anyway so it is not a problem. Lebron and AD should only come back when they feel healthy again, if they force themselves today, that will be a problem later on in the playoffs.

Doncic came out and said he doesn't seem the point of a play in tourny to get into the playoffs between the 7-10 placed teams. Then went on to say their goal is to get to the 6th spot. That seems kind of weak saying we are shooting for the 6th spot, why not higher meh. He was disappointed you can earn the 7th spot and basically get booted by losing 2 straight games. Welp should've gotten higher than 7th spot then I say.

Davis will return against Utah or Dallas. Lebron against Denver or Clippers. That is my prediction. If they gonna miss those games, Lakers will drop further on the leaderboard.

Could be or it could not. If they can sustain a W against the Knicks and Hornets, they'll still hold on to their current position. If they can't they'll probably fall in the 6th or 7th spot when they continue lossing against the Celtics and further teams ahead of that match.
The Lakers really need to have Davis back as the playoffs is fast approaching. Although which playoffs spot they land doesn't matter as long as they come up healthy in the post season.

Coaching staff are considering this things, for sure they know what is best for this stars and for the entire team. Like what most of the post said, LeBron and Davis needs to be more healthier once they've start playing.

With them, the team is more powerful. It's hard to beat this team once they've jive playing with Drummond, that all trios have a big edge.

Big men who can dribble the ball and create space to score to whoever defenders that will guard them.

Nets vs TWolves game postponed.

Quote

NEW YORK – The National Basketball Association announced today that in light of the tragic events in the Minneapolis area yesterday, tonight’s game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center has been postponed. The decision to postpone was made by the NBA after consultation with the Timberwolves organization and local and state officials.

Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Daunte Wright during this difficult time.

https://www.nba.com/news/nets-timberwolves-game-postponed-official-release

Not again. I don't believe the kind of reasoning the police had given.
How could you mistake a gun for a taser? How about the safety pin? Is it also the same?
This kind of events might postpone a lot of NBA games again for the Black Movement and be seen by the US government again.
I thought everything was a bit on a calm state. But no, white supremacy will never be erased.

That is really sad, maybe the officer had panic and pull the wrong weapon, but I was thinking, the gun and a taser are different, you were right something is wrong, because a gun is heavy than a taser, and will instantly feel that its a gun, unless there is a conspiracy, or he may be just want to warn the person, we don't know the actual situation but they have body cam, if the officer really did it wrong he needs to leave his job.

That's are crucial games because they are strong team and they need at least Davis to have a chance to win. Since the playoff race in the West is very tighht, Lakers need to win every game to remain secured. They are already at the number 5 now with 33 20 (w-l) record, and anytime soon Dallas and Portland could take over them.

That's what I'm talking about when Lebron and Davis were out for weeks in the court. If they can hold their position while those two are off the court, then the history when Lebron didn't participate in the playoff for the first time will be repeated. Because when he finally back and able to play, it's already too late they can't even get some win for every game, they losing too much that year and finally they are out of the list. Now they need to remain at that spot because other teams that have complete stars on their team are playing well especially those two teams that you mentioned.

I believe on ESPN as they are a reputable source, that would be the season more exciting and Lakers really need that to solidify their standing and to avoid getting kick out in the playoff ranking. Hopefully no hindrance for his return, he need to warm up as the playoffs is coming soon.

Yes, I also agree with you ESPN is a safe source, but I would not like to pass any wrong information here on the forum.
Therefore, I find it interesting other users who are more knowledgeable about the subject than I am.

Playoffs are coming, and practically several teams have to adjust and improve, the playoffs separate children from men

Yeah, ESPN is one of the most respected sports channel in the industry and perhaps they have inside information as well.

Playoffs? it's what separate the men from the boys. And we all know that the Lakers are the defending champs, so teams can't underestimate them even if they fall to 5th-7th position. And when either Davis or James comes back it will be a different LA team.

Showing off some source on what you had read up would be enough because the community would neither agree or make out some corrections if those information's arent true or not legit
So dont hesitate if the thing you do shared up was true or not.Just post up on where you had read it out.

Reading up that both AD and Lebron would comeback on a few couple of weeks.They would really be needing to make some adjustments when they do return.
