It’s clear that Dennis Schröder is not 100% right now. Not only is the Lakers starting point guard dealing with a hip contusion and undisclosed knee injury, but in medical updates we couldn’t even make up if we tried during a season cursed with them, Schröder also almost missed the team’s game on Thursday against the Boston Celtics with an infection in the ball of his foot.
Yes, really.
Schröder ended up playing against the Celtics, but was clearly limited, and head coach Frank Vogel says the team didn’t even know if he’d be able to play until it was nearly tip-off.
