They're a terrible team. Like any terrible team lacking talent, they don't rush back injured players, that's stupid.
Again, this whole tanking phenomenon does not exist, especially with the Lakers. With the best center in the league last year, they were the 7th seed off a tiebreaker. They no longer have that center and their best player is hurt. Now they're one of the worst teams in the league, no shit, huh?
The team literally just sucks, they're not tanking games.
