Brook Lopez Out At 3 Weeks With Sprained Ankle
- Updated: December 19, 2017
According to Mike Trudell of Lakers.com, Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez will miss at least three weeks with a sprained ankle.
Brook Lopez had an MRI confirm a moderate ankle sprain in his right ankle. Lopez will be reevaluated in 3 weeks. The minutes at center can be dispersed between Randle and Nance, and get Kuzma more PT at the 4. Alternatively, when LAL go big, Walton has Bogut, Zubac + T. Bryant.

Sahan Ahmed of NBCLA also reported the news.
So, don’t expect Brook Lopez in Houston, with KCP also not able to travel. Gonna be new look Lakers with guys like Thomas Bryant possibly getting some time. https://t.co/UNEnznPBKx
