Los Angeles Lakers are fueled on the early start of the NBA Regular Season, but sometimes, life hits the teams hard. Los Angeles Lakers lost almost all of its starters.

As this 16-time champion team getting back its thing together, Los Angeles Lakers got its three key players tapped out for a few games because of the black cat of the NBA, injuries.

First, the first round seventh pick of 2014 NBA Draft, Julius Randle. Los Angeles Lakers can certify Randle as their key Power Forward, as Randle vivaciously grabs boards. He is currently undergoing hip injury. The decision if whether he would play against the New Orleans Pelicans or not, is still tentative until the actual game time. In instance, if he still could not play, it would be his fourth game missing the contest.

Next, Los Angeles Lakers' second overall draft pick sophomore, D'Angelo Russell. D'Angelo Russell received platelet-rich plasma injection for his knees. D'Angelo Russel said that he wanted to be 100 percent ready before getting into the hardcourt again. So for now, he calmly sits at the sideline.

Last, Nick Young, who is now back on track against the Atlanta Hawks, dropping 17 points contributing to the Lakers' win. They won their two of two games against Atlanta this regular season.

Los Angeles Lakers are in good pace this year, showing constant improvement among both defensive and offensive ends of the floor, with 9 wins and 9 L's, hooking the 8th seed on the Western Conference standing.

NBA fans never miss a sight on every changes in the game, Lakers won 21 of 81 games last season, but now they won 50 percent of their games, 9-9.
