Lakers forward Cam Reddish (right ankle sprain) out at least 2 weeks

Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish is out indefinitely because of a right ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, the team announced Friday.

Reddish, 24, sustained the injury during the fourth quarter of the Lakers’ 127-116 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday. He sat out the Lakers’ 141-132 win over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday.

Referring to a few NBA betting sites, the Lakers hold ninth-best odds to win this season’s championship. Sportsbooks are showing better odds for the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, and Oklahoma City Thunder.

Cam Reddish was evaluated by team doctors and was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain. Reddish will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks, per the team.

Moreover, Reddish has made 26 starts in 35 games with Los Angeles this season. The five-year veteran is averaging 6.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.2 steals, and 23.3 minutes per game.

He is also shooting 40.5% from the floor, 33.7% from deep, and a career-low 78.3% at the foul line. In the Lakers’ 116-110 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 12, the forward recorded a season-high 18 points.

Of course, Reddish signed a two-year, $4.6 million deal with the club in July 2023.
