"Los Angeles Lakers fans are left scratching their heads as the team's struggles to find consistency continue. Despite being one of the most highly touted players not on their roster, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has somehow managed to avoid being a focal point of the team's woes. Instead, the Lakers have been plagued by a multitude of issues, from injuries to poor team defense, and it's unclear what's behind their inability to get on track. As the season wears on, one thing is certain: the Lakers need to find a solution to their problems, and fast, if they want to stay in contention for a playoff spot."


The Lakers haven’t had a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander problem. They’ve had a non-Shai Gilgeous-Alexander problem.
