He played the best game of his career but became the first player to be reimbursed in the new season. The Lakers dream of ultimate reinforcements was shattered.

According to reports from the United States, league sources revealed that center Kessler will undergo left shoulder surgery and be reimbursed for the season. Previously, Kessler personally revealed that he suffered from shoulder bursitis.

Kesler played in the first 5 games this season, averaging 14.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. It can be said that Kessler had the best performance of his career, especially his 3-pointers, making six of eight. Although the sample size is relatively small, combined with the fact that he also shot a lot of 3-pointers in the preseason, Kessler has indeed improved significantly in 3-pointers. This is Kesler's contract year. Based on this performance, it can be said that it is reasonable for Kesler to get a good contract next summer. It's no wonder that the Jazz want to trade Kessler during the offseason, but the prerequisite is to get multiple first rounds!

Some fans said that it was really wise for the Lakers not to make a deal with the Jazz during the offseason, because the Jazz named Rivers and wanted the first round. Judging from Reeves' current performance, Kessler and two first-rounders may not be given in exchange.

Some fans said: He played so well that the surgery will be reimbursed. Other teams will not dare to offer high prices during the offseason. The Jazz can decide to renew the contract depending on the situation during the offseason! The Jazz have invited Boozer to be the team's scout, and they are waiting to get Boozer's son in the top draft. Kill two birds with one stone~!

Some fans also said: I always feel that Kessler is the best answer for the Lakers' No. 5 position. Now that he is no longer available, the Lakers' dream of ultimate reinforcements is also shattered!
