It looked...not good. Hopefully it's just a mild sprain.

The West is about to be a cake walk for the Lakers with all these injuries.

4-6 week ankle sprain.

Not as bad as Woj is making it.

Looked like an ankle not a knee imo

damn. First and foremost hoping it's not a knee or anything that could have long term detrimental effects. Secondly, hoping he could be back for the playoffs

he'll be fine. I just hope they dont have any more injuries to compensate for his loss of production.

Nah it's an ankle sprain in all likelihood. My biggest fear is that it's not an Achilles injury since he couldn't put weight on the foot.

They just officially called it a sprain.

cakewalk for the clippers. We are massively injured too

..edit..ankle sprain. he'll be back in time for playoffs no biggie

I hope he heals up quick! I wonder if the Jazz will be somewhat demoralized knowing they played their asses off all year to hold the top seed, but will likely fall in the standings now and may not even have homecourt in the 1st round.

Lakers don’t even have their best two players available.

Guys, DWade just bought into the team. He's got to over-dramatically overcome a minor injury to impress the new boss.

Lakers are just being cautious with Lebron and AD. Both of those guys will be ready for the playoffs (and well-rested too). A healthy Lakers team will beat this Clippers team. We know this.
