Lakers superstar LeBron James and his two sons were at the practice facility this past weekend. The NBA suspended the season last Wednesday after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus.
Since then, Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell and Detroit Pistons high-flyer Christian Wood have tested positive as well.
The Lakers had the best record in the Western Conference before the season was put on hold. Behind LeBron and Anthony Davis, the Purple and Gold had a great chance to win the NBA title this season.
LA fans are praying the season starts up again in June or July so the Lakers at least have a shot of winning banner No. 17.
The NBA has begun collecting data on available dates for arenas, practice facilities and G-League venues through the end of August. The league would like to resume the 2019-20 season at some point despite the CDC currently recommending no crowds of 50 or more people for two months.
Should the NBA season resume, the Lakers will be on a one-game losing streak. The Lake Show are coming off a home loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
However, they did defeat the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers prior to their loss to the Nets. Those just so happen to be two of the best teams in the NBA.
