Los Angeles is in the midst of a tough stretch in their season and anytime that Randle will miss will hurt the club. Rookie head coach Luke Walton is dealing with the fact that the club is also without the starting point guard D’Angelo Russell.
The Lakers currently have a record of 16-34. Los Angeles will take on the Denver Nuggets at the Staples Center on Tuesday night.
