The Lakers will play at least two more games. They will play the Clippers at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. If they win, they’ll play in the tournament’s quarterfinals Sunday. If they lose, they’ll play a consolation game Friday.
The Lakers are undefeated in the competition after defeating the Philadelphia 76ers, Chicago Bulls and the Knicks.
The Lakers drafted Wagner, who played at the University of Michigan, with the 25th pick in the draft, which they acquired in the trade that sent Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
