The 2013-14 Los Angeles Lakers season was one of rebuilding and challenges, marked by significant injuries and underwhelming performances. Coached by Mike D’Antoni, the Lakers ended with a disappointing 27-55 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2005. This season was the team’s worst since moving to Los Angeles in 1960, highlighting the struggles they faced.
Star player Kobe Bryant played only six games due to injuries, significantly impacting the team’s performance. His absence left a void in leadership and scoring, which the team struggled to fill. Steve Nash, another key veteran, was limited to 15 games, further compounding the Lakers’ issues. The team relied on younger and less experienced players like Jodie Meeks, who led the team in scoring with 15.7 points per game, and Nick Young, who contributed significantly off the bench.
The Lakers’ defense was a major weakness, ranking 29th in points allowed per game. The lack of defensive prowess was a critical factor in the team’s inability to compete consistently. Despite the challenges, the season provided opportunities for young players to gain experience, setting the stage for future rebuilding efforts. The 2013-14 season underscored the need for significant roster changes and strategic adjustments to return to their former glory.
- Regular Season Record: 27-55
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
