Additionally, Lakers head coach JJ Redick and his son Bronny James appear to have reignited James’s previous passions with the new team members. The 20-time All-Star’s performance will be crucial as he seeks another chance at a championship.
The Lakers will go on a five-game road trip that ends in Memphis. This might serve as an assessment of the Lakers’ management style with their aging star.
Aside from any setbacks brought on by injuries, the “King” has shown no indications of slowing down. Not only that, he previously stated that he intends to play ‘all the games’ in the NBA this season.
