The Los Angeles Lakers just can’t seem to catch a break these days. They are currently mired in a five-game losing streak, and the injury bug is hounding them relentlessly. It appears that power forward Julius Randle is the latest to feel its bite, and is dealing with another hip issue.
Randle attempted to go for a steal late in Friday night’s game against the Phoenix Suns but collided with Suns guard Brandon Knight. After the play, Randle stayed down for a few moments, grimacing in pain and clutching his left hip. It was a scary moment for the bruising big man who recently missed three games with a hip pointer.
