According to ESPN reporters Adrian Warnarossky and Dave McMenamin, Lakers guards Russell Westbrook and Avery Bradley have triggered health and safety agreements and are quarantined.
Some time ago, the Lakers had players such as Dwight Howard, Tarren Horton Tucker and Malik Munch isolated. In addition, in the Lakers' injury report, there are also the absences of Ariza and Nunn, and the team's superstars Anthony Davis and LeBron James are the most likely states to play:
It is worth noting that according to the US media Shams-Charania, the Lakers have taken advantage of the difficult exception to sign a 10-day contract with former All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas, which also adds to the Lakers' backcourt depth.
Westbrook is a player signed by the Lakers in this offseason, and the Lakers pushed for the deal with the sending of players such as Kyle Kuzma, Pop and Harrell, which also means that the trade with Westbrook is a big gamble for the Lakers.
So far this season, Wei Shao's overall performance is not ideal, and the Lakers can not play a good enough performance, which is why Wei Shao's big three duo of James and Davis has been questioned.
In terms of statistics, Westbrook has averaged 19.6 points, 8.4 assists and 7.8 rebounds per game so far this season, but Westbrook's shooting percentage and overall efficiency are not high. As for Bradley, he is a player who can average 5.8 points for the Lakers, but he can perform with 40% three-point shooting.
The absence of Westbrook and Bradley is undoubtedly a big blow to the Lakers, but it is likely that thomas jr., who has just joined, can get valuable game opportunities in the next game of the Lakers, after all, in the past period of time, Thomas Jr. has been seeking the opportunity to return to the league, and indeed got the Lakers short-term contract after scoring 42 points in a single game in the G League.
