With 5 consecutive wins, the Lakers soared to second place in the Western Conference. James comeback opponents basically locked in the weak teams in the Western Conference.

After this wave of winning streak, the Lakers' record reached 7 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference, second only to the Thunder's 8 wins and 1 loss. It can be said that the Lakers' performance has severely "ironic" the American media. After all, at the beginning of the season, the American media believed that the Lakers' record without James would be worrying.

In these 9 games, Doncic and Reeves have performed well, new aids Ayton and Smart have also performed well, Laravia has become a surprise player, and Rui Hachimura's efficiency has also been improved.

However, the Lakers will usher in a wave of 5 consecutive visitors and have to play 5 consecutive away games. According to the latest news, Lakers player LeBron James will not travel with the team for 5 consecutive away games, which means that he will continue to miss at least 5 games, missing the team's first 14 games in total.

According to NBA regulations, you must play 65 or more games in a season to participate in the selection of major awards. There are only 3 games left for James.

With James' status in the media and his data, as long as he completes 65 games, he will be at least an All-NBA third team member.

However, despite missing five consecutive away games, James has already started training and his comeback is imminent. The opponent for his comeback is basically the Jazz, a weak team in the Western Conference.

The Lakers return from five consecutive away games, and their first home opponent is the Jazz. The Jazz are determined to put off a bad performance and are currently ranked 12th in the Western Conference. They are indeed one of the best choices for a comeback. Not only that, after beating the Jazz, the Lakers will continue to play the Jazz, so even if they cannot catch up in the first game, they will most likely make it in the second game.

Judging from the schedule, playing against the Jazz is the best time for James to come back.

Of course, the Lakers' five consecutive away records will also have an impact.

The Lakers’ five consecutive away schedules are: Hawks, Hornets, Thunder, Pelicans, and Bucks. The next two games are back to back.

Against the Hawks and Hornets, the Lakers hope to continue their winning streak. But it will be difficult to face the Thunder away from home. If they lose to the Pelicans again due to fatigue, the Lakers may end their away trip with a three-game losing streak. Although the overall record may still be 9 wins and 5 losses, which is not bad, the momentum of three consecutive losses just gives James a chance to come back.

James returned and the Lakers defeated the underdog Jazz, which can be considered a smooth transition.

After the 2nd game against the Jazz, the Lakers' opponents were the Clippers and Mavericks, which were also very interesting games.

This season is the 23rd season of James' career, but he has not been seen for a long time. The official completion of this record has also made some fans very anxious, but what is coming will come. James will definitely continue his legendary career this season, but similarly, James will definitely say goodbye to the NBA in the future, even as soon as the end of next season.

James will still be an important part of the Lakers, and his performance will also affect the Lakers' record. However, after the first few games, everyone should have seen that the other Lakers players are not of CBA level.
