🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 LeBron James feared to miss several weeks with foot injury | That's OD

We do have some breaking news we've got to get to before we close out here, Oum. Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting on LeBron James that he is feared to miss several weeks with the right foot injury. He's undergoing further testing to learn the full extent of the injury, not a lot of time left in the season, and several weeks is, if it ends up being several weeks, that could certainly take the wind out of the sails with the Lakers playoff push. So what, Dave, what do the Lakers, if he misses several weeks, give me, like, I guess at the top of your head, what would be the game plan for Lakers? Obviously, everything goes through Anthony Davis, and we saw how Anthony Davis responded early this year when he was just absolutely on fire and was the man. But take me through how all the other new pieces fit, and how do they basically fill this massive void? I think you're right there. A.D.'s got to be the sun, the moon, and the stars for this franchise over the stretch, and I do believe he's up for the task physically and mentally, but you're going to need to fill that void somewhere, and maybe it's the guy that we forgot about when we rattled through the new roster acquisitions, Rui Hachimorra, can play, he's arguing LeBron James, saying he can play some of those minutes there, you know, Austin Reeves, some of those minutes there. Certainly, getting D'Angelo Russell back healthy will help them, because he, you know, beyond LeBron and A.D., I believe he's their next best player, certainly offensively. So that'll help, but oof, this is, yeah, you see LeBron put himself out there, the 23 most important games of his career, to have this happen in game three of that stretch is a tough pill to swallow, and I know that LeBron will do whatever he needs to do to get himself back onto the court, this won't be a, you know, tear down the tent and move on, but it's just like a math equation now. All these games were already pressure-packed and already going to be a tough prospect for them to win fully healthy, and yeah. Let me take you through the next couple weeks, Dave, their schedule. At Memphis tomorrow night, at Oklahoma City on a back-to-back, that's incredibly tough back-to-back, and obviously Oklahoma City right there with them trying to get in a play-on game. Minnesota, a team that stands above them in the standings at home. Golden State, another team above them in the standings at home on Sunday, that's now one week from his injury. Then after that, Memphis at home, Toronto at home, the Knicks at home, which would take us to two weeks from his injury. Let's assume that even if that were the fastest he would've come back, he still would need time to kind of ramp up and things like that, right? After that, at New Orleans, at Houston, Dallas at home, Orlando at home, Phoenix, Kevin Durant should be back by then, and then Oklahoma City and then two games in a row against Chicago. I hope this isn't a death knell for them, Dave. I hope that they can hang on, AD can keep them afloat, and I think he can, and I think with all the new pieces, keep them in that play-in race, and then after that, if LeBron can come back healthy and he's doing well, and if both of them are healthy, they can still make some noise. Yeah, I think it's just going to come down to just how much time this thing takes, right? And even, as we know, coming back from injury, then there's time to get back into a rhythm and then it's time to figure out the group that you're playing with, and that group figures out a way to keep their head above water while you're out, and then you're recombobulating things, so, excuse me, you're discombobulating things, I should say. So, yeah, this is going to be challenging. There's no way to sugarcoat it. I imagine we could be leading future episodes down the stretch talking about, you know, the Clippers' playoff prospects to lead the show rather than the Lakers' playoff prospects. Subscribe to ESPN+.
