In the upcoming NBA regular season, the Lakers will face off against the Nuggets. Before the game, Lakers coach JJ Redick revealed the team’s latest injury situation in an interview with the media. In addition to the confirmed absence of James (the original text may be incorrect because James is injured but not clearly stated here is not absent, and the mention of “Doncic” obviously does not belong to the Lakers, maybe information mix-up or clerical error), the Lakers will also have three players unable to play the game, they are Finney Smith, Vincent and Jameson.
In the face of so many injuries, Redick showed a firm attitude: “We can’t do anything about the schedule, but we will try to win the next basketball game. Everyone in uniform is going to be in the rotation and we’re going to give it our best shot.”
It’s worth noting that even though Brownie is not feeling well, Redick said he will continue to play. Meanwhile, Lakers reporter Dave McMenamin interpreted Redick’s words to mean that another player, Redish, will get his first chance to play since late January.
Redick also spoke about the recovery from other injuries. He said the injuries of James, Hayes and Hachimura are improving and they are very close to returning, which is good news for the Lakers because the return of these players will greatly enhance the strength of the team.
Despite the challenges of staffing shortages, the Lakers showed unity and resilience. Under Redick’s leadership, they will respond to the game in full rotation, and strive to win in front of the Nuggets.
