The Lakers need another win, LeBron steps out so they can play better without him

The Los Angeles Lakers have been struggling this season starter and currently are going with a 3-10 record, one of their worst in franchise history. Still, with almost a week off, they have rested, and with the last game being a victory, they are ready for another win tonight.

LeBron James is the Lakers superstar, but he won't play this time, as the team won without him against the Net and performed better without him. Unfortunately, LeBron hasn't recovered; he continues to be injured so that he won't risk the game and himself.

More Lakers news:

LeBron will probably be back for the Sunday night game. However, another game, Juan Toscano-Anderson, and rookie Max Christie will also miss the game due to some injuries.

Coach Darvin Ham won't have his complete roster as they continue to be unhealthy, at least for this game. But the good news is that Dennis Schröder and Thomas Bryant will make their season debut. 

The starting five without LeBron James

Without the King, Austin Reaves will start the game alongside Patrick Beverley, Lonnie Walker IV, Anthony Davis, Troy Brown Jr., Dennis Schröder, and Thomas Bryant playing with the 2nd unit.
