Lakers aren't chasing NBA playoff seeding. They're searching for answers

LOS ANGELES — April unraveled quickly for the Los Angeles Lakers, and now they’re almost out of time to fix it.Through the first two games of the month, the Lakers have already matched their March loss total with blowout road defeats in Oklahoma City and Dallas. They also lost Luka Dončić (left hamstring) and Austin Reaves (left oblique) to soft tissue injuries that could cost both the rest of the month. LeBron James sat out Tuesday due to left foot injury management, while starter Marcus Smart missed his eighth straight game due to a right ankle contusion.Advertisement
