On January 3, the Los Angeles Lakers played at home to the Timberwolves, and the two team coaches revealed some team conditions related to the game before the game.
Wolves have made a clear reference to the two core players on their team, Towns and Russell, who will not make a appearance in the game against the Lakers, who have lifted the restrictions on the safety and health agreement, but it will take time to recover, and the two will probably make a comeback on Thursday.
On the Lakers' side, head coach Vogel mentioned that Rondo, who has lifted the restrictions on safety and health agreements, is not with the team today, and he has not come to the stadium. A reporter said, "This just shows that the lakers and cavaliers trade is happening, but because it has not yet been officially completed, so the Lakers can not reveal more."
Vogel also praised the performance of the team's new signing Stanley Johnson, "he did everything he could to prove to us that he could help us". As for whether the Lakers will keep him after his 10-day short contract expires, Vogel said he is not sure yet because the Lakers have more important issues to solve at the moment.
The Lakers are aligned with Wolves' starting lineup today, with Five leBron James, Johnson, Westbrook, Bradley and Munch.
