The Los Angeles Lakers have been officially eliminated from the playoffs.
After falling 121-110 to the phoenix suns on Tuesday night in the Footprint Center, the Lakers do not have mathematical path to the season, as they can no longer catch up the San Antonio Spurs for the spot in the play-in the tournament.
With three games remaining, it marks the end of what has been an extremely disappointed season for the Los Angeles. Lakers thought that they will be good this year because they had Westbrook, and Anthony Davis but really it didn’t make any difference because Davis got injured so he had been out for a couple games. Also, Lebron James got injured so that he couldn’t play, so that’s why Lakers couldn’t do anything.
The Lakers deal with injuries to key players throughout the season, but unlike the other teams in similar situations, Lakers didn’t have enough talent on the roster to overcome the hurdles.
Lebron James still put up a ridiculous number at his age. He’s currently averaging 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.2 assist, 1.3 steals, 1.1 blocks in 56 games. He’s also shooting 52.4 percent overall and 35.9 percent from 3-point range.
This is now the second time in four years that Lakers failed to qualify for the playoffs. Lakers hadn’t failed to qualify when all the good players was in the Lakers, but since they are gone Lakers haven’t been good. Last year they were playing pretty good they made the playoffs but they lost to the suns again.
