NBA, Lakers lose to Oklahoma even without LeBron James, who rested

Milan, Apr. 8 (LaPresse) – More troubles for the Los Angeles Lakers, who, already without Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, kept LeBron James resting his injured left foot during the heavy loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Lakers, Pacific Division champions, are already missing Doncic and Reaves, both out for at least the remainder of the regular season due to serious injuries. The 41-year-old James has suffered from arthritis and discomfort in his left foot for much of the season and has occasionally missed games to rest. The Lakers’ injury problems over the past week have seriously undermined their hopes of competing for the title in Doncic’s first full season with the team.
