When the Los Angeles Lakers announced their starters for Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals, they confirmed that Mo Bamba (left ankle soreness) would miss his third game in a row against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
Bamba, who previously missed several weeks with a high ankle sprain in the same leg, played just more over 10 minutes total in the first round against the Grizzlies. After checking into Games 1 and 2 for 30 seconds of mop-up duty apiece, Bamba played nine minutes and 10 seconds of garbage time in the closeout Game 6.
