Lakers players Austin Reaves and Kent Bazemore exited the COVID-19 protocol but will not be able to play the Grizzlies this Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The reason is that both pieces of the team have to fit physically to return to action in the 2021-22 NBA season.
Bazemore and Reaves are expected to be activated again for Friday’s game this week against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Lakers said Kent
Bazemore and Austin Reaves both cleared protocols but will be out tonight due to “return to competition reconditioning.” Both will be available on Friday.
