The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Minnesota Timberwolves at home today, but the top picks of the two teams were unable to play due to injuries and missed the match between the league’s top big men.
According to news, the Lakers star Anthony Davis will miss the game due to a contusion of his right calf, and he is free from the game.
Lakers coach Frank Vogel was interviewed after the shooting training in the morning and announced that AD will not play this game. “We just want to be responsible for his body. Next we will pay attention to his injuries.”
In addition, according to ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, the gray wolf number one center Karl-Anthony Towns underwent an MRI examination of his wrist and showed no bone damage. However, the gray wolf team officially stated that Towns could not play in this game and he may miss the next few games. .
KAT delivered excellent performances in the 2 regular games of the opening season, averaging 19 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5 assists.
Vogel revealed that AD experienced a calf contusion in the opening game against the Clippers, and then aggravated the injury in the Christmas game against the Lone Ranger.
The 27-year-old AD performed well in the first two regular games, averaging 23.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
Vogel also said that the Lakers have no special rules for how LeBron James and AD play back-to-back games this season, and it will depend on the specific circumstances.
The Lakers will face the Trail Blazers tomorrow and play their second back-to-back game. Vogel said LeBron expects to play this game, but the specific decision to play will have to wait until tomorrow.
