The Lakers will follow up with a three-game streak against the Lone Rangers, Timberwolves and Bulls, and before they go out, they update their latest injury reports, and the team has suffered from the epidemic for the first time this season (James has not officially quarantined). Among them, Tucker Jr., Howard and Munch have tested positive in succession and will be absent for at least 10 days, and 3 consecutive customers will definitely not be able to catch up.
Recently, there have been many players in the league to trigger the safety protocol, but the Lakers also encountered trouble, first Tucker Jr. took the lead in triggering the health and safety protocol, tested positive, and will be absent for at least 10 days.

If the two of them can come back, it will still be a great help to the team, the team has high expectations for them before the start of the season, Ariza can improve the team's forward defense, and the only middle-class contract is given to Nunn.
