LeBron-less Lakers see postseason hopes take another hit in loss to Jazz
, Malik Monk and Stanley Johnson with the team’s two best players still unavailable.
James, who suffered a sprained ankle in the Lakers loss at New Orleans on Sunday, could also return Friday. While Vogel declined to provide an update definitively on either’s status, he said his two stars are “progressing well” and will be on the court if they’re able to be. “He’s been working extremely hard and he wants to get back as quickly as possible. That’s the energy that we’ve felt from Anthony in terms of once getting cleared and passing certain hurdles,” Vogel said before Thursday‘s game. “And then, obviously, ramping up his work, letting the increased workload recover and see how it responds. And he’s shown a great urgency to try to get back on the floor. So hopefully we get him back soon.
Westbrook scored 24, Howard had 21 and Monk scored 14. Donovan Mitchell led five Jazz players in double figures with 29. Gobert had 25 points and 17 rebounds, missing just two of his 11 attempts.
