    Then why was he standing there, and why did he step forward directly under DLo's foot? Whether intentional or not, it was no freak accident, he stepped somewhere he shouldn't have been and caused it.

    i'd guess they kept him out as a precaution since they were already up big

    Shouldn't that out-of-bounds contact been at least called a foul? Accidental or not, that IS contact, right?

    I do not think that was a premeditated action by DiVencenzo, sh*t happens, it did not look that bad to me. It was lucky that it did NOT happen in game speed or from a jumping position.

    I don't think it was premeditated, DLo overextended his foot back, just a freak situation.
    We can't catch a break.

    It doesn't seem too bad and I think we just used precaution in a game we felt under control. There's much to play yet. I don't think he doesn't miss more than Sunday's game

    That's too bad, but it's not a serious injury. Some ice, compression, tape and he'll be able to play. We need him.

    I don't know about what happened in Minnesota but he's easy too root for in his second stint as a Laker

    He didn't like Gobert bc Gobert sucks. FO made an incredibly bad trade for Gobert and had too much invested in him, so to save face, they booted DLo for Rudy's BFF Conley instead.

    True dat

    Yeah, I figured he'd miss one game since the ankle is probably sore, but he should not miss any more games after that. It really wasn't too bad. More minutes for Dennis and Reaves on Sunday. Who knows, he might decide to give it a go on Sunday... he's not ruled out.

    He was meant to be a Laker. He will shake this off and probably play Sunday though we are good enough to beat Dallas without him. Dlo is going to explode into a star and revive AD's career.

    Figured at best he would only miss a game. Hopefully we can get the W without him.
