Magic Johnson Has Blunt Comment About 1 Lakers Player

Over the weekend, the Los Angeles Lakers saw their season come to a disappointing end at the hands of the Phoenix Suns.

LeBron James and a hobbled Anthony Davis were no match for Devin Booker and the red-hot Suns who won the series 4-2. Among the players who failed to make a significant impact on the series was Lakers guard Dennis Schroder.

He had a dreadful performance in Game 5, going 0-9 from the field and scoring 0 points in a 115-85 loss to the Suns. He managed 20 points in Game 6, but it wasn’t enough to get the win.

Following the 4-2 series loss, former Lakers great Magic Johnson had a blunt message for Schroder.

“Schroder, I don’t think he’s a Laker,” Magic Johnson said Friday on AM570 LA Sports.

“That’s just my opinion,” Johnson said. “I don’t know if they’re gonna sign him back or not. I don’t think he brings the winning mentality and attitude that we need, and he had a chance to show that in this series, and to me, he failed in this series. But again, if he comes back a Laker, I’m gonna support him, I’m gonna cheer for him and all that, but I just don’t think he’s a Laker.”

Schroder is a free agent heading into the 2021-22 season. We’ll have to wait and see if the Lakers bring him back for another season.

It’s clear Magic wouldn’t.
