With the NBA season well past the first half, the Lakers are not comfortable in the standings and there is uncertainty regarding their postseason qualification. LeBron James knows this, the main star of the team, who knows that they have disappointed their fans.
“I promise that we will be better”, are the words that the forward sent to the great legion of fans of the Angelenos, who play this Monday against the Utah Jazz.
Going into the Jan. 17 date, the Lakers are 21 wins to 22 losses to be eighth in the Western Conference.

Draymond Green, power forward for the Golden State Warriors, has a serious injury to his right calf and this has taken him out of action in recent days.
The franchise to which the valuable defensive player belongs hopes to do a reassessment of the condition of the leg in the coming days to get an idea of when his return will be.
Draymond Green will be reassessed in two weeks so he will spend more time off the court.

In the current NBA campaign, Green has averages of 7.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.4 assists. It is a vital piece to maintain the balance between defense and attack in the starting lineup.
Marc Gasol, who left the NBA to return to Spanish basketball, surprised with some statements in which he suggests that his return to the American league is not ruled out.
“In the NBA they know that it is not, they know that it is not a closed door. I wanted to do this now and they understand it, perhaps more than many people here in Spain. The door is not completely closed”, were the words of the center born in Catalonia.
