As their injury woes mount, it seems that your spiraling los angeles lakers could be without a crucial (to darvin ham, if not to the rest of us) rotation piece for at least a week.
Cam reddish, a veteran la small forward who has been sidelined for “a few games” due to a lingering sore left knee, is expected to miss the team’s roster.
During his inaugural season with the lakers, he has started 26 of his 33 games. With the club, the 6’8″ wing is averaging 6.5 points, 2.4 boards, 1.4 assists, and 1.2 steals. Reddish is praised by ham for his key defensive contributions, which is a mistake. Since rui hachimura missed five games with a calf injury, he seemed to have relegated him to ham’s bench recently, though he did become a spot starter.
Ham surprisingly decided to start reddish over him once more after hachimura was forced to return from saturday’s 132-125 loss to the utah jazz. Here’s hoping that ham does not start another non-shooting forward, jarred vanderbilt, over hachimura’s progress.
