Los Angeles Lakers Rumors
Mike Trudell: Update: Markieff Morris is out tonight due to the left ankle sprain suffered last night in New York.
Kyle Goon: Frank Vogel starts off his comments today by recognizing the death of Slick Leonard, the all-time winningest Pacers coach. “Slick really took me under his wing as a young coach … provided great friendship and support.”
Kyle Goon: Vogel mentions that Slick Leonard “always had strong opinions about Lance Stephenson” and “was always a big Lance guy,” which makes me want to ask approximately 1000 follow-ups.
Several Lakers players back for game against Charlotte
Ryan Ward: Lakers will get Kyle Kuzma, Marc Gasol, Wes Matthews and Alfonzo McKinnie back tonight. All of them will be available to play.
Ryan Ward: Andre Drummond will also be available to play tonight, which is obviously great news after being listed questionable.
Ben Simmons on Nets: There's only one ball and you gotta play defense too
Rich Hoffman: Ben Simmons: “We’re going for the past champs, the Lakers. They were the ones who won a championship, so you got to give the respect to them. Obviously Brooklyn has a lot of talent. But at the end of the day, there’s only one ball and you gotta play defense too.”
Kyle Goon: An addition to the Lakers’ already lengthy injury report: Markieff Morris is QUESTIONABLE for Charlotte with a left ankle sprain, the one he had taped up midgame yesterday.
