Lakers News: Russell Westbrook, Avery Bradley and three other players enter COVID health and safety protocols

The Los Angeles Lakers winning their last three matchups now are ranked at 6th position in the western conference with the record of 16-13 (W-L). LeBron James and team had a rough start this season and were doubted even as a playoff contender team as the new squad was not in form and the team chemistry was also nowhere to be seen.


Los Angeles Lakers had a slow start this season as the team lacked behind due to players being unavailable because of injuries and fell short in most of their close contested match-ups to even blowout wins. LeBron James suffered a abdominal sprain and was side-lined for multiple games during which the Los Angeles Lakers lost multiple matches of their easiest schedule.

In addition to this the Los Angeles Lakers also have two injured players who haven’t even suited up for the purple and gold army Kendrick Nunn and Trevor Ariza.
