The 6'9" veteran told reporters after the game (as seen on Spectrum SportsNet) that the problem stays the same: left ankle peroneal tendinopathy. This has been bothering him for a few months now.

The game was very rough. In the last few minutes of the first quarter, the Lakers went from being ahead by 19 points to being behind by 22 points before a late comeback brought LA back into the game.

Not only did Los Angeles lose another game, but it also resulted in a victory for one of their main competitors in the play-in portion of the competition. This made the loss much more expensive for the team.
