This disaster of a Lakers season is getting a fitting, if also unfortunate, ending. In a year when so little has gone right and injuries have played such a central role, the team is going to limp to the finish line, figuratively and literally, as Wenyen Gabriel is the latest Laker to suffer an injury.
Late in Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Mavericks, forward Gabriel limped off the court, to the bench and eventually the locker room. After the game, the Lakers announced that Gabriel sprained his left ankle and would be considered day-to-day moving forward.
