Injuries have derailed the Los Angeles Lakers in recent weeks. After coming out of the All-Star break on fire, they have cooled off considerably. The Lakers are riding a four-game losing streak, as injuries have hit them hard.
Josh Hart has been sidelined all of March. Brandon Ingram last played on March 1st. Kyle Kuzma missed a game. Corey Brewer was waived so that he could sign with a contender.
With so many injuries, the Lakers had to dig deep into their depth chart. Travis Wear was signed to a 10-day deal from the NBA G League.
