A season that in some sense has been defined by injuries, the Los Angeles Lakers have particularly been shorthanded over the past few weeks. At it stands, odds are against Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram or Kyle Kuzma playing Tuesday or Wednesday.
Ball has missed the past six games due to a left knee contusion, Ingram has been out the last five because of a concussion, and a sprained left ankle forced Kuzma to miss Sunday’s game; he’d already been playing through a sprained right ankle suffered in March.
Add to it that Isaiah Thomas has been out since March 24 because of sore hip that eventually was operated on.
