The Lakers announced on Tuesday morning that they assigned the trio of Thomas Bryant, Dennis Schröder and Kendrick Nunn to the South Bay Lakers to take part in a practice and scrimmage with the G League franchise. All three will be recalled following the morning practice.
For Bryant and Schröder, this is yet another sign that the pair could very well be returning on Friday. Each is recovering from surgery on UCL injuries in their thumbs and both have inched closer and closer to a return. The Lakers are not practicing on Tuesday, so assigning them to South Bay to get in more on-court time makes sense.
