The Los Angeles Lakers were delivered with a piece of bad news after their win against the Denver Nuggets. Their superstar Anthony Davis injured his right foot and will now be sidelined for a few weeks to rehabilitate from the injury. During AD’s absence, the Lakers played against the Washington Wizards.
Although it was a close game, LeBron James led the Lakers to a stunning victory over the Wizards. The Lakers led the game for most of the fourth quarter and never let the Wizards make a comeback. During the final few minutes of the game, NBA fans got to witness one of the smartest plays by Dennis Schroder against the Wizards.
Schroder, who is now starting for the Lakers, decided to skillfully waste around 24 seconds from the clock without even activating the shot clock.

This play is certainly not new, but managing to waste 24 seconds from the clock is certainly a rare sight. Dennis Schroder protected the ball and saved valuable time for his team. Ultimately, plays like these can make or break the game for the team, and it certainly did the job for the Lakers.
Do The Los Angeles Lakers Need To Make Some Trades?
The Lakers may have won the game against the Wizards, but for the season, they are still 13-16 and arguably need to make a few trades to improve the roster. There are rumors that Anthony Davis’ injury has changed the team’s approach to trade. But the goal remains the same for the team. It’s about providing LeBron James with more support.
James will be turning 38 years old soon and is being forced to carry most of the burden for the Los Angeles Lakers right now. He is apparently pissed off at Rob Pelinka and the Lakers’ front office for not actively looking to trade for talented players. Let’s hope the front office will make its move before it’s too late to save this season.
