The Memphis Grizzlies (23-38) have the LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers (29-30) next on their season schedule. One of the hottest headlines in the NBA (post-All-Star break) surrounds James and his team’s push for the postseason.
It is important to note that LeBron James has only missed the NBA Playoffs twice in his career, which happened to be first two seasons of his now 16-season career. His Lakers currently sit in the 10th spot of the NBA’s Western Conference standings, equivalent to 3.5 games out of the eighth and final playoff position.
