They are 13-18 and 13th in the Western Conference. All-Star Anthony Davis is out injured and looking at their next few games, James will need to inspire his team once again, per ESPN.

Lakers face an out-of-sorts Dallas Mavericks team on Christmas Day, then play some tough teams in their following games. They missed the playoffs last season and given how things are going this time, they could miss out for the second season in a row.

LeBron's cryptic post

Coming off a 14-point loss to the Sacramento Kings, James posted on Twitter, with the message leaving many wondering what message he was sending.

"Fate whispers to the Warrior, You cannot survive the Storm.” The Warrior whispered back, “I am the Storm….”

It's hard to decipher LeBron's message, but a quick guess is that it has something to do with fans counting the Lakers out. Early this year, the 37-year-old vowed to never miss the post-season again.

However, missing out on the playoff is a real possibility for Darvin Ham's side.

The Lakers have won three games in a row only twice this season, per LA Times. Can they gain some momentum without Davis?

LeBron's message to Wade

Sports Brief earlier reported on LeBron sending a message to his close friend Dwyane Wade, who was nominated to the 2023 Hall of Fame class.

The Lakers superstar said his former Miami Heat teammate deserved the accolade, as he sent his congratulations.

Wade and James won two NBA titles together in Miami, but the Heat icon retired at the end of the 2018/19 season.
