With the Los Angeles Lakers struggling to go above .500, the team has had two players missing: Anthony Davis and Kendrick Nunn.
Davis has not played since Dec. 17 after spraining his MCL but is likely returning soon. However, it is not yet known when Nunn will return.
Nunn has not played since the preseason. He was about to return from an ankle injury when L.A. labeled him out with a bone bruise in his knee; he was also in health and safety protocol for a short duration.
There was hope Nunn would be back sometime in January, but he had a setback while taking on an increased load in individual workouts.
Nunn took to Twitter to issue an apology to the fans:
Lake Show I promise I want to be out there helping my team. Stay patient with me. This process has been just as frustrating for me. I’ll return as soon as I’m healthy! It’ll be worth the wait.
