The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

lol

You think that he's allowing the team doctors to share his confidential medical records with multiple other doctors?

Possible, I guess.

Seems unlikely though.

When his name is being dragged through the mud like it has?

I sure would be if I thought it would change the damaged goods narrative. Nobody going to pay him if they think he is broken.

More likely than not.

Well….

I would assume ticket prices have gone up since then.

The fact that they are on pace to break the franchise win record in far more impressive.

Revenue should be higher.

2 things...

1. I'd like to know what the Lakers doctors saw that they didn't like. Maybe they thought he'll be another Andrew Bynum or Greg Oden?

2. Doctors who haven't examined him are weighing in.

Exactly.

The Lakers have one of the best training staffs in the League.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Piss off the Mrs. again?

It was a joke...

 

[DJ Fieri]

Luka doesn't play and the Lakers beat the Blazers....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Sit him till he is healthy....

 

[tlance]

Sit him till he is healthy....

Definitely need to do that

 

[bksballer89]

Definitely need to do that

Luka said he took more time to comeback from this injury to make sure he’s healthy. I don’t think he’s not healthy. He is trying to learn a new system/play with a new roster on the fly. Sitting him doesn’t help that

 

[DJ Fieri]

Definitely need to do that

I think it's a combination of him not being 100% AND he playing with a new team. You never really know if you healthy till you come back and play...

 

[DJ Fieri]

And the Lakers were 10-1 before the trade and playing well.

They played well without him last night vs a scrappy and relatively hot Blazers team. Well, they were 6-0 until this 4 game losing streak.

When you have to limit a guy to 25 minutes and not play back to backs he isn’t fully healthy.

Not saying he isn’t okay to play. But he certainly doesn’t look like Luka right now.

Of course he is going to say he is healthy.

Wants to be out on the court with his new teammates.

His minutes restricted was lifted. He played close to 35 min I believe vs Charlotte on Wednesday. Agree on your other point but could also just be the lakers training staff being overly cautious

 

[DJ Fieri]

Williams played vs the Lakers but sat out last night vs the Nuggets?

Yeah, glad that trade didn't go through.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Charlotte won the game vs LA but Williams sure didn't go for 20 and 12 like some on here said....LOL.

No GM is trustworthy.

Presti is, feel free to make tons of deals with him.

 

[DJ Fieri]

 

[thunderc]

Exactly.

The Lakers have one of the best training staffs in the League.

So good that they see injuries that aren’t there I guess.

Basketball truly starts back with the Thunder in action. Only players still on the injury list are Ajay Mitchell and the rookie Topic. Up 9 games in the loss column over the nuggets with 28 to play.

Denver looking scary. Hottest team in the league with Cleveland
