The Los Angeles Lakers lost another player to injury and it happened to be the one debuting for L.A. in the 112-97 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Andre Drummond managed to play just 14 minutes before the damaged nail on his big toe forced him out of his first game for the reigning NBA champions.
The 27-year-old center impressed head coach Frank Vogel both offensively and defensively on Wednesday night before his toenail came off completely, ending his Lakers debut. Even though Drummond appeared to be in a lot of pain following the incident, X-rays didn’t show any bone fracture, suggesting his injury isn’t serious.
