Despite their undeniable synergy, James and Davis have only played together in 32 games this season, resulting in an underwhelming 17-15 record for the Lakers when both players are available. Injuries have plagued both stars, with James participating in just 50 games this season, while Davis has managed to appear in 51 games.
LeBron James has faced numerous injuries throughout the season, with a recent 13-game absence caused by a right foot injury sustained against the Dallas Mavericks on March 17th. On the other hand, Anthony Davis also grappled with a right foot injury in December, resulting in a 20-game absence due to a stress fracture.
Will the Lakers’ stars be able to play in the upcoming crucial games?
As the Lakers gear up to face the Utah Jazz on Tuesday and the LA Clippers on Wednesday, it remains uncertain if Davis will be cleared to play in both back-to-back games. While the team’s future hangs in the balance, having both stars available is paramount for the Lakers’ chances of making it to at least the play-in tournament.
Can the Lakers make it to the playoffs? Time will tell. You can share your thoughts with us in the comments.
