Derek Fisher, who won five NBA championships as a Laker, thinks that the current team is dealing with challenges that are not physical or tactical.

“There is plenty of talent in the Lakers locker room to win games in the NBA right now, so there’s something mentally, emotionally, psychologically that is heavy,” Fisher said on Spectrum SportsNet.

Los Angeles is currently in ninth place in the Western Conference with 27 wins and 33 losses is facing a real danger of dropping out of the play-in zone.
