Los Angeles Lakers guard, Wayne Ellington, will be out for the season following a grade 1 shoulder separation.
According to reports, Ellington was scheduled for an MRI this afternoon following an injury that occurred in the Lakers matchup against the Pelicans.
The team sent out the following press release today:
“EL SEGUNDO Lakers guard Wayne Ellington, who was injured in the fourth quarter of last night’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans at STAPLES Center, had an MRI exam today which confirmed a grade 1 shoulder separation. Ellington will miss the remainder of the season.
In 65 games (36 starts) this season, Ellington averaged 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 0.5 steals in 25.8 minutes per game. The six-year NBA veteran set single-game career marks in points (28), rebounds (10), assists (six), and field goals made (12) in 2014-15.”
With the Lakers struggling this season Ellington’s injury marks another season health issue for the Lakers. Nick Young is also likely to be shut down for the rest of the year as well.
Our thoughts are with Wayne as he goes through recovery.
