With the Denver Nuggets advancing to the second round of the playoffs, the Lakers are left with identifying the reasons for such a rough run. Darvin Ham, the head coach of the squad has been held accountable by many, though there are more problems in the roster.
The Los Angeles Lakers had a rollercoaster of a 2023-24 campaign.
