  • Cam Reddish LAL SF
    Lakers' Cam Reddish: Off injury report vs. Charlotte
    2h ago

    Reddish (personal) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

    Reddish is set to return from an eight-game absence Wednesday due to personal reasons. The 25-year-old was included in the trade that would have sent Dalton Knecht to Charlotte in exchange for Mark Williams (reconditioning). However, both Knecht and Reddish are back in Los Angeles after the trade was rescinded, and they are both candidates for a bump in minutes if LeBron James (foot) is downgraded from questionable to out.

    Lakers' Luka Doncic: Likely to be limited Wednesday
    3h ago

    Coach JJ Redick said Tuesday that Doncic will operate under a minutes restriction in Wednesday's game against Charlotte, though he is not expected to remain limited moving forward, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Doncic will likely operate under a minutes restriction in the club's first game back after the All-Star break, though he is expected to shoulder his normal workload following Wednesday's contest. The superstar has appeared in two outings with the Lakers since straining his left calf with Dallas on Christmas Day, during which he has amassed 30 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block across 47 total minutes. Doncic will likely hover around the 25-minute mark against Charlotte, as he has yet to surpass 24 minutes in his two games with the Lakers.

    Williams was initially set to be traded to the Lakers but the deal was rescinded after the 22-year-old big man failed his physical. Now that he's back with Charlotte, Williams is expected to make his first appearance since Feb. 3 and should reclaim the starting center job.

    The big man is set to return to game action after missing the club's final outing before the All-Star break due to a right eye abrasion. With Mark Williams (reconditioning) listed as probable to suit up, Diabate will likely rejoin the second unit. Over his last five outings (three starts), the 23-year-old has averaged 10.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.2 minutes per contest.

    Hayes (face) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, head coach JJ Redick told media Tuesday, according to Khobi Price of The Orange County Register.

    Hayes has started in each of the Lakers' last seven games, and that streak might continue Wednesday in the league's return following the All-Star break. It's unclear if Hayes will remain as the Lakers' starting center with Alex Len and Christian Koloko also in the mix, but Hayes has been playing around 20 to 25 minutes on a regular basis over the last few weeks.

    Turner missed Indiana's previous three contests due to a cervical strain in his neck but is expected to return to action Thursday after recovering over the All-Star break. If Turner is officially deemed available, he should reclaim his starting spot from Thomas Bryant.

    Hornets' Mark Williams: Links back up with team
    11h ago

    Williams returned to Charlotte over the All-Star break and is expected to resume playing with the Hornets in the aftermath of his rescinded trade to the Lakers, James Plowright of CLTure.org reports.

    The Hornets agreed to trade Williams to the Lakers on Feb. 6, only for the Lakers to rescind the deal two days later when the club detected multiple concerns with the third-year center's medical record that resulted in him failing his physical. Though Shams Charania of ESPN reported Feb. 10 that the Hornets planned to get in contact with the league to dispute the Lakers' findings, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said over the weekend that Charlotte never filed a formal protest of the rescinded trade, per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com. While reintegrating Williams may make for some awkwardness after the Hornets attempted to trade him away, the 22-year-old should step back in as Charlotte's starting center coming out of the All-Star break. As Plowright notes, the Lakers failed his physical because of long-term concerns about his health, not due to any current injury. If Williams is in fact back in action with the Hornets to begin the second half, he'll be playing against the team he was nearly traded to in the Lakers, as the two squads are set to play Wednesday in Los Angeles.

    Wembanyama registered 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one block over 7:29 of court time during Chuck's Global Stars' 41-25 loss to Shaq's OGs in the final of the All-Star Game Tournament.

    Wembanyama played a key role in Team Chuck's 41-32 win over Team Kenny in the first round, finishing with six points, four rebounds, one block and one steal over 6:22 of court time. Wembanyama was the only player on Team Chuck to score in double digits in the finals, but it wasn't enough to earn the victory. With All-Star weekend coming to a close, Wembanyama and the 12th-seeded Spurs will look to make a final push for the playoffs, starting with Thursday's game against the Suns.

    Tatum recorded 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes during Sunday's 41-25 All-Star Game final win for Shaq's OGs over Chuck's Global Stars.

    Tatum had a solid performance in the semifinal for a balanced OGs squad, logging six points, two rebounds and two assists. However, he truly shined in the tournament final, posting a game-high scoring total. While Stephen Curry was named All-Star Game MVP, Tatum played a pivotal role in the OGs' success. The Celtics will resume regular-season play Thursday against the 76ers.

    Mobley co-led Kenny's team in scoring alongside Darius Garland and Tyler Herro, but the trio's efforts weren't enough to make it to the final round of the tournament. Mobley and fellow Cleveland All-Stars Garland and Donovan Mitchell have played critical roles in the Cavaliers' 44-10 record, which is best in the Eastern Conference. Mobley and the Cavs will go on the road to face the Nets on Thursday.

    James sat out of the All-Star Game due to discomfort in his left foot and ankle and could miss the club's first game following the All-Star break. The Lakers were managing the superstar's activity prior to the break due to the lingering left foot injury, and if he is ruled out for Wednesday's contest, Dorian Finney-Smith and Dalton Knecht could see an uptick in playing time.

    Suggs missed the club's last nine outings leading up to the All-Star break due to a left quad contusion, and his limitations during practice bode poorly for his chances of returning for Thursday's game against Atlanta. The fourth-year pro has delivered a career-best year thus far, though availability has been a glaring issue of late, as he has missed 19 of the Magic's last 20 games. If Suggs remains on the shelf for Thursday, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black could see increased roles.

    Gilgeous-Alexander paced Team Chuck in their first-round victory over Team Kenny, connecting on all five of his field-goal attempts and finishing with 12 points, two rebounds, one assist and one block over 7:10 of playing time, but he wasn't able to carry that momentum into the finals.
