LeBron James
With the Los Angeles Lakers looking for redemption against the Sacramento Kings in their upcoming match, a statement from the purple and gold army has shocked the hoop world as LeBron James has entered NBA Health and Safety protocol. Already suffering through 7 losses out of their 11 without their marquee scorer, LeBron’s absence could be catastrophic for the 2020 NBA Champions.
Given that the LA Lakers have not found inspiration with LeBron not being on the court, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis need to take up more responsibility as LeBron James is expected to miss at least 6-7 games after entering the NBA Health and Safety protocol.

LeBron James enters NBA Health and Safety Protocol
At the moment, it’s unclear what prompted James to enter protocols, and if he tested positive for COVID-19 or came into close contact with somebody who did.
According to various reports, though, LeBron will be miss at least 10 days or until he posts two negative COVID tests in a 24-hour span — all but indicating that he tested positive. He’s expected to miss several games.
On one hand, where teams like Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors have been registering win after win, the LeBron James led LA Lakers are stuck in the middle-pact of the Western Conference after conceding 11 losses in 22 games. Given that the team is yet to justify the caliber of the star-studded roster, LBJ’s absence could seriously lead Frank Vogel’s team into some serious trouble.
Having said that, according to Michael J. Babcock of TMZ, LeBron took three COVID-19 tests and two came back positive.
“Found out this morning that he was gonna be entering the health and safety protocols,” Frank Vogel said before the Kings game. “We arranged for him to get transportation back to LA safely. That’s pretty much all I can say about him.”
