The Los Angeles Lakers are entering a crucial part of the 2022-23 NBA season, ready to win 16 of their next 23 games, which won’t be an easy task. The 17-time NBA champions missed the postseason last season, and they made a series of moves ahead of the 2023 trade deadline that improved their level.
Now, they have a lot of work to do, but if we take a look at their most recent games, the Lakers have a big chance to win most of these games and make a late push for the playoffs. Former NBA player-turned-analyst Jalen Rose has explained what the team needs to make it to the big party.
According to Rose, Anthony Davis will be crucial for them, and if AD is healthy, the rest will be easy for the Lakers.

“I believe LeBron James and Anthony Davis will find the way to get these Los Angeles Lakers to the playoffs. They did make a couple of twists in D’Angelo Russell, we talked about Rui Hachimura. But ultimately, having both two guys, and LeBron playing as dominant as he’s been playing, if Anthony Davis can stay healthy, these Lakers will be in the playoffs, so we don’t have to worry about the embarrassment of thinking the Purple and Gold won’t be in.”
AD has been called the most important player for the Lakers during the regular season, as they always aspire to save LeBron James for the playoffs. However, the Purple and Gold haven’t been able to do so, and LeBron has done so much more than he’s expected to lead this squad.
LeBron James Is Ready To Lead Lakers To The Playoffs
LeBron James knows this is a big challenge for him and the rest of the team, and he even claimed that the next 23 games are some of the most important he’ll play in his 20-year career.
After the entertaining trade deadline, the Lakers are ready to compete, and as long as they have LeBron on the court, things will go smoothly for the Los Angelenos team.
