When the Los Angeles Lakers began their four-game road trip there was some hope Brandon Ingram would return from a groin strain that’s sidelined him since March 3. But the sophomore forward has yet to go through a full practice, and remains out through Saturday.
In addition to Ingram, the Lakers have been without Josh Hart since the beginning of the month. Injuries have played a factor in the team’s current four-game losing streak and their stalled momentum after an impressive stretch to begin 2018.
And to make matters worse, the Lakers will be shorthanded for their two remaining games on the road trip, as Isaiah Thomas is nursing a sore hip, according to Bill Oram of the Southern California News Group:
Isaiah Thomas is out for the final two games of the trip with a sore hip.
