Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn has missed the entirety of the season thus far with a “bone bruise” in his knee (in medical terms, a microtrabecular fracture) that had many fans questioning whether he would play at all this season.
It looked like Nunn was on his way to answering that question, as over the last week he had ramped up, from on-court shooting drills to individual workouts. However, head coach Frank Vogel gave an update yesterday that will have fans again wondering if Nunn just isn’t meant play for the Lakers — Nunn suffered a “setback” during his return-to-play ramp-up, and that progression has now been put on “pause” until his knee settles down.
