As if Sunday night’s loss to the Detroit Pistons wasn’t painful enough, the Los Angeles Lakers now have a pair of guys with two healthy ankles between them. Jordan Clarkson and Tarik Black both sprained their ankles in the action, though both did sound hopeful about their chances at playing when the Lakers face the Denver Nuggets Tuesday night.
Tarik Black’s injury did seem more serious based on his immediate reaction. When he turned his ankle, he immediately went down and didn’t seem all that intent on getting back up.
