Ryan Kelly:
The Los Angeles Lakers are listing forward Ryan Kelly as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets, after missing two consecutive days of practice. Kelly experienced hamstring tightness during the Lakers game on Tuesday and is erring on the side of caution.
Wes Johnson:
Scott’s been waiting to see an assertive and aggressive side of Johnson.
"He’s got the green light. He can’t worry about me taking him out cause I’m not going to take him out for taking a bad shot or making a mistake offensively. Now I’ll take him out for making a mistake defensively, but not on the offensive end,” Scott said of Johnson after practice. “I know he can be better and that’s what I’m kinda pushing for.”
Not sure it's a good idea......I think it's best for him not to do too much offensively.

"Now it's my turn. I'm just ready for Sunday. That's all I can say, I'm just ready for Sunday," repeated Johnson.
So we're going to see a new Wesley Johnson when he hits the floor against the Hornets?
"Yes you are. Yes you are," he answered assuredly.
Hope that's true.
Lin:

He is being handed the encouragement of Bryant to seize a mantle, the green light from Scott to be his floor general and a wheelbarrow of cash from management.
Of those to whom much is given, much is required.
Lin has all but been handed the keys to the city. Now it’s time to pay it forward.
Don’t be afraid to replicate your apex—embrace that challenge.
Show Los Angeles you’re legitimate, and you’ll have a place in her heart for years to come.
Amen.

“[I'm] excited to be here, [there's a] huge challenge in front of us, in front of me, and I’m looking forward to it. There’ve been people that wrote me off already and think I’m done…and I’m not. And I’m looking forward to showing that.”
Right, we'll see.

Healing...It's really strange that he played a little bit and then nothing, is he healthy? Sounds like he's a good shooter, but what's wrong with his FT shooting?
Barkley:
Charles Barkley vows to fast until Lakers win a game

"I'm not going to eat another meal until the Lakers win a game," he said.
"Let me rethink that," he said moments later.
