Outlook for the Lakers
The Lakers' playoff hopes are all but over with James and Davis out injured. The team is currently 13 games out of the final play-in spot with only 20 games remaining in the regular season. The Lakers will need to get healthy quickly if they want to have any chance of making a run in the playoffs.
