LeResults:

Ls — @ Nets, @ Bucks, @ Nuggz1

Ws — vs. Suns, vs. Spurs, vs. Nuggz2

LeNotes:

3-3 since the injury is… fine? It’s fine. The Lakers apparently only do things in chunks, with the recent run of games going WWWWWWWW LLL WWW.

LeBron returned to on-court workouts a few days ago and, per Shams, will be out “at least another week” from 3/16. That puts him out for tonight’s game against the Bucks and probably Saturday vs. the Bulls.

Up next is a 4-game road trip of ORL-IND-CHI-MEM. We should see 23 back out there at some point in that stretch but on the other hand he’s 40. Holding out until 3/31 when the Lakers return to LA and host the Rockets on TNT might make physical and narrative sense.

May we all be blessed with a return to the fuckery before the calendar turns to April 🙏.
