Heading into Sunday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Lakers are dealing with good and bad news on the injury front. On the good side, Larry Nance Jr. has been cleared to return against the Mavericks. On the other end however, is D’Angelo Russell now being out 1-2 weeks with an MCL sprain.
Nonetheless the Lakers head into Dallas on the heels of a much-needed win over the Indiana Pacers that ended a five-game losing streak. The Mavericks have lost two straight games coming into this matchup, but have had the Lakers’ number so far this year.
