The Los Angeles Lakers have been done since day one. I remember when people fixed their mouth to say that the Lakers have a chance to make the Playoffs this year. Don’t hear anybody saying that now eh!?
With the fact of the Lakers being terrible, you would think that shutting down Larry Nance Jr is a no-brainer. But at this point they’re only talking about it. No permanent decision yet.
However, Lakers coach Byron Scott said he and the team’s longtime trainer, Gary Vitti, have had discussions about sitting Nance out for the rest of the season to let his knee heal.
No decision has yet been made, Scott said, and for the moment Nance will receive treatment on his knee and be evaluated to play Wednesday against the Grizzlies in Memphis.
“We’ve talked about it, they’ve talked about it, but at the same time, at this point right now, it’s precautionary,” Nance said about being potentially shut down for the rest of the season.
If he can play, go play. But since they’re considering shutting him down the injury must have the potential of being more. So I would just preempt and do it now before he does serious damage.
