LeBron James and the LA Lakers crashed out of the 2021 NBA Playoffs on Thursday night after losing 100-113 to the Phoenix Suns, EKO HOT BLOG gathered.

Devin Booker got into top gear early and dropped 47 points to see off the defending champions.

LeBron James put up a valiant effort with 29 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, but the LA Lakers simply couldn’t match up to the Phoenix Suns today.

Anthony Davis leaving the game early with another injury didn’t help either. LeBron picked up his only first-round playoff exit in the process.

Speaking to the media after the Game 6 loss, LeBron James mentioned that the LA Lakers never really managed to play at their best this season due to various complications.

“The one thing that bothers me more than anything is that we never got an opportunity to see our team at full strength either because of COVID or injuries or with something going on with our ball club this year,” LeBron said. “We could never fully get into a rhythm.”

Looking ahead, LeBron recognized that getting everyone healthy will be a priority for the LA Lakers.

“The No.1 thing for us is getting AD healthy,” LeBron claimed. “If we get the big fella healthy and he’s back to where he was before the injury, if we get my ankle back to 100%, we go from there, and that will give us the best chance to compete for a championship next year”

King James also expressed trust in the LA Lakers front office to make the necessary roster moves.

LeBron James handed Devin Booker an autographed jersey after the game. He also took the time to praise the Phoenix Suns’ ace.
