In stark contrast, Erik Spoelstra refuses to use injuries as an excuse, while Darvin Ham attributes the Lakers’ problems to them.

Erik Spoelstra, the head coach of the Miami Heat, seems to respond to his team’s injury situation somewhat differently than Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham.

Without Caleb Martin, Jimmy Butler, or Haywood Highsmith, Miami defeated Los Angeles away from home. Butler, who has been perhaps Miami’s best player since joining the team and helped guide it to the NBA Finals the previous season, is undoubtedly the biggest loss for the Heat.

On Wednesday, the Lakers were also without numerous important players, such as forward Rui Hachimura, guard D’Angelo Russell, and guard Gabe Vincent. Ham seems to justify the team’s recent lack of consistency by citing the injuries. The Lakers’ setback at Miami on Wednesday marked their third consecutive loss and

their eighth in the previous ten encounters. Despite being merely 17–18 on the year, Los Angeles is ranked No. 10 in the Western Conference.

For the majority of the season, the squad has been without Vincent, while Hachimura has also been in and out of the lineup. The Lakers have had difficulties ever since they emerged victorious from the NBA’s In-Season Tournament.

Spoelstra responded very differently than Ham did when questioned about injuries.
