Lakers Highlights: Los Angeles vs Memphis Grizzlies

The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off of a blowout loss to the Toronto Raptors and now head to Memphis to attempt to get a much-needed win over the Grizzlies. Unfortunately, the Lakers have been absolutely decimated by injuries, with D’Angelo Russell, Nick Young, Larry Nance Jr., and now Jose Calderon all missing time thanks to an overzealous injury bug.

Memphis has also been hit hard with injuries, as they will be missing Mike Conley, Zach Randolph, Chandler Parsons, Vince Carter, and James Ennis. Both sides appear poised to make a run towards the playoffs in the Western Conference, and this December meeting could wind up determining who is still playing in mid-April.

It’s going to be an interesting matchup of two teams missing key players. Check out the highlights below, courtesy of the Lakers Twitter account:
