Lakers rookie Moe Wagner to sit out the preseason because of a knee contusion

Lakers rookie Moe Wagner will sit out the entire preseason as he continues to recover from a knee injury he suffered in July during the Las Vegas Summer League.

Wagner injured his left knee July 10 when the Lakers played the New York Knicks at the Thomas & Mack Center. He walked without a limp after the game, but was not available for the rest of the tournament.

Wagner had an MRI exam the next day that the Lakers said confirmed a knee contusion. Lonzo Ball sat out the final eight games of tlast season because of a knee contusion.
