Julius Randle out with pneumonia as Lakers hit a break in their schedule

Lakers forward Julius Randle will miss at least two to three days because of pneumonia.

Randle was examined by a doctor on Saturday and diagnosed with the illness. The team said he is restricted from all activities and will be re-examined Monday.

The Lakers have a rare break in the schedule, giving Randle some extra recovery time. After Thursday’s game at Utah, which Randall sat out due to the illness, their next game will be Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets.

This season, Randle has started in all but six games.
