LeBron James Blames Injuries for Disappointing Lakers Season

During his final media availability of the season Monday, LeBron James was asked how he thought the trio of himself, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook would compliment each other before the start of the season and then was asked why it didn’t work. He had a clear answer.

“The reason we were not very good together is we weren’t on the damn floor together,” he said. “That’s the No. 1 damn thing.”

James and Davis dealt with several injuries throughout the season, causing them to miss games. Westbrook played in 78 games but struggled throughout the season.
