LeBron James has reacted to the injuries of Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves, with the Los Angeles Lakers now facing the final stretch of the season without both players.
Dončić is dealing with a hamstring injury, while Reaves has been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season with an oblique issue.
James said:
“It was a shot to the heart and to the chest and the main frame with Luka, and we got that news kind of quick.”
“I woke up from my nap yesterday and then saw that news, I was like … (expletive).”
The Lakers are expected to rely heavily on James, who recorded 30 points and 15 assists in their 134-128 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
Coach JJ Redick said:
“I think simplicity wins. It´s nothing too crazy. But it´s just being really simple with the menu and hopefully over the next five games, we can really figure out what works for this group.”
The injuries come at a point, with the Lakers already in the playoffs but still fighting for position in the Western Conference.
