The injuries to the Los Angeles Lakers just keep on coming. Luke Walton’s team, already down Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart, also lost Isaiah Thomas for the remainder of their road trip, leaving them down to eight healthy bodies for Saturday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
The lack of depth did not prevent the Lakers from ending their four-game losing streak, however, as they escaped Memphis with a 100-93 comeback victory. Nonetheless, the need for more depth is urgent, and it looks as if help will be on the way.
Walton spoke after the victory Saturday about getting some more bodies in.
