Los Angeles Lakers guard Wayne Ellington was ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Houston Rockets.
The veteran tripler is affected by a flu picture, which is not related to COVID-19. In his absence, players like Malik Monk and newly signed Stanley Johnson and Darren Collison are expected to have more minutes.
The Lakers come into this game on a five-game losing streak, which has the team going 16-18 and in ninth place in the Western Conference.
