The Los Angeles Lakers are looking forward to Andre Drummond’s return from the toe injury, allowing him to start building chemistry with new teammates before the start of the playoffs.
Drummond showed glimpses of potential in his debut, the 112-97 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, before the injury ruled him out for the rest of the night in the third quarter. Understandably, the 27-year-old center was way off his optimal shape considering he hadn’t played since mid-February and spent just a few days with L.A before the game.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope hopes that his relationship with Drummond will help the two-time All-Star settle in quicker.
