The Los Angeles Lakers had been thriving since trading for Luka Dončić, climbing all the way to the No. 2 seed in the West. But, after LeBron James suffered a left groin strain Saturday against the Boston Celtics, the Lakers are now facing a stretch where they may be down three starters.

LeBron James had Los Angeles Lakers fans worried with his groin injury. The four-time NBA champion exited the Lakers game against the Boston Celtics in the final quarter, and did not return to the court.

The challenge come June could be OKC. That might not be the best result for the Celtics, but it would be the best series for basketball fans.

The Los Angeles Lakers' first game against the rival Boston Celtics with LeBron James and Luka Dončić together on the floor drew a massive audience. The NBA announced on Tuesday that Saturday night's matchup on ABC averaged 4.

Recent reports on social media clarify whether the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics is the NBA's biggest rivalry again.

At one point during the game, Doncic was pushed in the back by the Nets' Nic Claxton, but the refs turned a blind eye to the incident. Now, another angle of the incident has surfaced on social media that has infuriated LA Lakers fans.

For as great of a superstar as Luka Doncic is, he has one major flaw. Doncic has had a very recurring problem of constantly complaining to NBA referees. His complaining has become so bad, that the superstar often misses getting back on defensive assignments because of it.
