Lakers fans obliterate ‘trash’ Wesley Matthews via social media

Matthews, 34, had a horrible game against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.
As a matter of fact, Matthews went scoreless, shooting 0-of-5 from the field, which included three missed shots from downtown.
The guard is averaging a career-low 4.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game this season. He’s played in 36 games for the Lakers this year.
While fans are clearly upset with the veteran, they will need to find a way to put up with him. The Lakers are currently extremely shorthanded, headlined by the absences of superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
The Lakers signed Matthews to a one-year, $3.6 million deal prior to the start of the 2020-21 campaign.
