Every few seconds during his postgame interview on Zoom, Andre Drummond glanced down at his right big toe, the one missing a toenail, the one for which X-rays came back negative beyond a bruise.
It wasn’t the sort of debut Drummond anticipated in his first start for the Lakers after signing with them as a free agent on Sunday.
The injury happened when Milwaukee center Brook Lopez stepped on Drummond’s foot during the Lakers’ 112-97 loss to the Bucks on Wednesday night at Staples Center, and it’s left his playing status as day to day, although the Lakers said he will not make the trip to Sacramento for a game against the Kings on Friday niight.
