32-41. Previous: 25th. Los Angeles Lakers. 25. team. 20.
Unlike the other teams headed for the lottery, the LA Lakers don’t arrive at their final games of the season with a view to believing things are on the uprise. Injuries to key youngsters have lessened their trade value. LeBron James finally demonstrated he’s not invincible and reminded all fans Charles Barkley‘s infamous statement of “Father Time is undefeated” still rings true.
