Lakers Podcast: Why A Minutes Restriction Helps LeBron James & The Franchise

The season hasn’t gone the way the Los Angeles Lakers had hoped, and with injuries piling up as well as missed opportunities to get wins over bad teams, it now appears that the playoffs are out of reach. With that being the case, the Lakers will reportedly place a minutes restriction on star forward LeBron James and may have him sit in back-to-back situations.

On this episode of the Lakers Nation News Feed, host Trevor Lane explains why, given the circumstances, this is actually a positive move for both James and the team. It’s not the outcome that the Lakers were hoping for, but with the situation that they currently find themselves in, there weren’t many other options.
