Lakers Shut Down Larry Nance Jr.

@Lakers

According to Mark Medina of the L.A. Daily News the Los Angeles Lakers will shut down rookie Larry Nance Jr. until after the All-Star Break due to a sore right knee.

The Los Angeles Lakers confirmed the news via Twitter.

Eric Pincus of the Los Angeles Times also reported the news.

Nance has been dealing with the injury over the last few weeks now and has missed a couple of games. It seems as if now is the best time to shut it down as the team will get an extended break with the All-Star game set to take place in Toronto next weekend.

Nance was thinking about participating in the Slam Dunk contest but his knee started to bother him. Jordan Clarkson and D’Angelo Russell will participate in the Rookie Sophomore game and Kobe Bryant will start in the All-Star game for the last time.

Los Angeles will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves tomorrow night. Fans can watch the game on NBATV. As more information surfaces on the Nance and the injury progression we will keep you up to date.
