As the Los Angeles Lakers gear up for another playoff push, there are several players on the roster who could be entering their final postseason run in purple and gold. Here are three Lakers players who might be suiting up for their last playoff hurrah in Los Angeles:
1. *LeBron James*: The King is still playing at an elite level, but Father Time is inevitable. At 38 years old, LeBron is nearing the twilight of his career. While he’s shown no signs of slowing down, the physical demands of the NBA season can be brutal. This might be LeBron’s last chance to lead the Lakers to a championship.
2. *Anthony Davis*: AD has been plagued by injuries throughout his career, and the wear and tear on his body might be catching up to him. At 30 years old, Davis is still in his prime, but his health issues make him a wild card. If the Lakers don’t make a deep playoff run this season, it’s possible that Davis could be traded or leave in free agency.
3. *Dennis Schröder*: Schröder is a veteran point guard who’s been a key contributor off the bench for the Lakers. However, at 29 years old, he’s approaching the end of his prime. With the Lakers looking to rebuild and retool their roster, Schröder might be a casualty of the team’s youth movement. This could be his last playoff run with the Lakers.
Of course, this is all speculation, and any of these players could still be with the Lakers next season. But as the playoffs approach, it’s worth considering that this might be the last hurrah for some of these key contributors.
