The Los Angeles Lakers have a scheduling advantage with fewer back-to-backs as they gear up for the 2024-25 NBA season under new coach JJ Redick. LeBron James and Anthony Davis aim to lead the charge.
Bollywood Fever: The Los Angeles Lakers are preparing for the 2024-25 NBA season with a significant scheduling advantage that could help the team avoid early-season struggles.Â
One of the key changes this season is the reduction in back-to-back games, with the Lakers slated to play only 13, two fewer than last year.
While this decrease may seem small, it could have a meaningful impact on the team, especially for aging stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
James, entering his age-40 season, and Davis remain pivotal to the Lakers’ success. Their performance will largely dictate the team’s chances in the highly competitive Western Conference.
Reducing back-to-back games helps mitigate the physical toll on these superstars, improving their chances of staying healthy and productive throughout the season.
The Lakers will begin their campaign at home on October 22 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. With 10 of their first 19 games at Crypto.com Arena, the team will look to take advantage of their home court and build early momentum.
This season is also notable for the debut of JJ Redick as the Lakers’ head coach. Redick’s appointment surprised some fans, but he enters with high expectations and the task of leading the team through a pivotal year.
His leadership will be critical as the Lakers aim to blend the contributions of role players with the dominant presence of James and Davis.
As for LeBron James, there is speculation that this could be his final season in the NBA, as he holds a player option at the end of the year. With a legacy already solidified, his focus remains on capturing another championship for Los Angeles.
