The Los Angeles Lakers have announced that Wayne Ellington will be out for the team’s game against the Houston Rockets with a non-COVID illness. As of publishing time, no other Lakers have cleared the protocols for Tuesday’s game.
Heading into practice on Monday, the Lakers had head coach Frank Vogel and four players — Rajon Rondo, Trevor Ariza, Kent Bazemore and Austin Reaves — in health and safety protocols.
While interim head coach David Fizdale did not have an update on Vogel’s status after practice — one which Avery Bradley participated in after getting a DNP-CD in his own first game back from the protocols — he did reveal that it’s just a matter of Vogel needing enough negative tests to exit protocols at this point.
