JaVale McGee is questionable to play in the third game of the Western Conference semifinals with ankle soreness, Lakers head coach Frank Vogel told reporters on Zoom after the team’s Monday practice. He also revealed that Dion Waiters will be getting further testing for his strained groin in the afternoon, and the team will announce Waiters’ status on the injury report for Game 3 after that evaluation is completed.
Waiters and McGee both left the Lakers’ Sunday night win against the Houston Rockets with their respective injuries.
