Lakers News: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Capitalized On ‘Bench Perspective’ While Recovering From Sprained Ankle

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been an iron man through his first three seasons with the team. Out of 235 total games over that span, Caldwell-Pope missed a total of 10, with only two of them happening because of an injury.

Six were due to his legal troubles in 2017 when he could not leave the state of California for road games for a month, and the other two were for rest prior to the 2020 NBA Playoffs.

On Sunday, Caldwell-Pope missed his first game due to injury in over two years after suffering a left ankle sprain in the Lakers’ second win over the San Antonio Spurs.
