The Los Angeles Lakers suffered yet another humiliating defeat. This time, it was a 138-122 rout at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks. James posted just an hourglass emoji after the game on X (formerly Twitter).

LeBron posted the hourglass emoji on X, sparking a flurry of rumors. The main ones concerned the firing of head coach Darvin Ham and the possible transfer of D’Angelo Russell to the Hawks for Dejounte Murray.

Dissatisfaction has been stoked by the Lakers’ second straight double-digit loss and problems with coaching choices, especially regarding lineups and rotations.

Fans feel very strange about this, but they are predicting and connecting with Darvin Ham. Even still, there are rumors that Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and the team’s executives continue to support Ham. For reactions, scroll below:

With just one day off before facing the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden, LA won’t have much time to recover. They will travel to Madison Square Garden shortly afterward for their Saturday matchup with the New York Knicks. They cannot afford to go into a four-game slump if they blow both games.
