So far, this season has felt like an exercise in Murphy’s Law for the Los Angeles Lakers.
They have had key injuries to Kendrick Nunn, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, among others, and it has seemed like as soon as one player has gotten healthy, someone else has gotten injured.
With 20 games remaining in the regular season, a lot more could potentially go wrong, and it’s time for head coach Frank Vogel to cut down on risks.
It’s time for him to reduce James’ minutes.
The four-time MVP is averaging 36.8 minutes a game on the season, which is fourth in the league.
Let me remind everyone that James is 37 years old, with perhaps more mileage than any 37-year-old in NBA history, thanks to 10 trips to the NBA Finals.
