On Friday afternoon, James joked that he was going to be out for the season hours before the Lakers game against the Pelicans, which had significant playoff implications.

I’m out for the season officially. 🤦🏾‍♂️. See y’all in the fall. 👑✌🏾

The Lakers are now in the 11th spot in the western conference and have a tough road to get to the 10th spot to qualify for the play-in game.

We might have our play-in teams set. Lakers lost to the Pelicans and are now a game back of the Spurs for the last play-in spot but it's basically 2 because SA has the tiebreaker. LA's last 5 games are against DEN, PHX, GSW, OKC and DEN again. Tough to see it.
