Rookie forward Brandon Ingram on Tuesday missed his second consecutive game because of tendinitis in the patellar tendon in his right knee, sitting out the Lakers’ game against the Washington Wizards.
Although only two weeks remain in the Lakers’ season, Coach Luke Walton expects Ingram to return before it ends.
“As soon as the trainers tell us he can go without pain and he can move the way he normally moves, we’re gonna get him back out there,” Walton said. “This is valuable time for him. There’s been a lot of growth in his game, we want to get him some more of those opportunities before we get into the summer.
