The Lakers season is a real nightmare, with repeated injuries and especially defeats that follow one another. And in this slump, a man managed to grab the title of biggest belly, which is not trivial. The fans let their frustration explode on Tuesday.
The Lakers’ situation has just taken a turn for the worse on Tuesday… With only a few games remaining in the regular season, Frank Vogel’s men have just slipped out of the Top 10 in the Western Conference following their loss against the Mavericks , which means they could miss the play-in, the ultimate hope of going all the way to the title. And that’s not the only bad news of the evening for the 2020 champions.

Kendrick Nunn is expected to miss the rest of the season for the Lakers.
Kendrick Nunn accused of theft by Lakers fans
Signed last summer to assist Russell Westbrook in the lead, with a nice contract worth more than 10 million over two seasons, Kendrick Nunn will finally have a white season for a totally crazy reason. As a reminder, he simply bumped his knee against a coffee table during preseason, and has since been sidelined with bone pain. Inevitably, faced with a fiasco of this magnitude, fans cracked up on social networks.

In the Lakers’ complicated season, Kendrick Nunn’s injury is perhaps the biggest charade of them all. Indeed, while his scoring facilities could have relieved the entire squad, the leader could not recover from a simple shock to the knee… Which is all the more shocking that over the same period, Paul George had time to tear a ligament in the elbow and to come back with a card just before the playoffs…
The question now is what to do with him in the future? The second year of his contract is optional, but the leader has no reason to refuse it, since he will probably not get 5 million elsewhere after this rather strange injury. Will Rob Pelinka decide to send him elsewhere in the offseason, or will he give him a chance to prove his worth? One thing is certain, Nunn will not be in a strong position with his management.
Kendrick Nunn should have been a luxury substitute this season in Los Angeles, but his clash against a coffee table got the better of him. It was finally a sign that this exercise was going to be particularly complicated for the Purple and Gold.
