“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.
