The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the most competitive NBA teams right now. But even though they are competitive, they are worried about their future since two of their superstar players, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, are aging.
Here are 3 things that the Lakers are worried about for the upcoming season. Have a look!
Could Anthony Davis’ Health Shatter the Los Angeles Lakers Title Hopes?
Anthony Davis is the superstar player of the Lakers. He is the key player that the Lakers need to win the upcoming title. They also extended his contract till the 2027-28 season.
However, there is a big question about Davis’ health. Whether or not the superstar will stay healthy?
Davis has played a total of 132 games out of 246 regular season matches in 3 NBA seasons. He has only played half of the time when he was on the court.

Davis, like Zion Williamson, has become an injury-prone player. Hence, Los Angeles can’t completely rely on him to contend the season. This is one of the biggest concerns for the Lakers; they need to consider to secure their future.
Starting Lineup Issue: Who Joins the Starting Lineup?
The starting lineup is a big concern for the Lakers. They have Anthony Davis, who has already made it clear that he would not play the center.
Apart from Davis, the Lakers have Christian Wood, LeBron James, Austin Reaves, and D’Angelo Russell, but it is unclear who will start for them.
The Los Angeles’ coach, Darvin Ham, has hinted that they would use a dynamic starting lineup and will make changes depending on the game.
Can Gabe Vincent Shine as LA’s Key Backup in Crunch Time?
One of the most effective players for the team was Gabe Vincent. He showed his skills when much needed and utilized his minutes well in the playoffs and finals.
However, it is a big question for Los Angeles’, how effective will Vincent be as a backup in the important minutes?
Gabe is not a playmaker, which is a major issue for the roster. The coach might give him a different role., but if he doesn’t perform well in the new role, he won’t be effective for the team.
