US EditionPelicans host Lakers Friday for NBA Cup group stage matchup
Rookie forward Adou Thiero, recovering from knee surgery, could impact Lakers' rotation after being upgraded to questionable status for NBA Cup game against Pelicans.
- On Friday, the Los Angeles Lakers upgraded rookie forward Adou Thiero from out to questionable for the NBA Cup group-play game in New Orleans at 8 p.m. EST.
- Thiero, who is recovering from left knee surgery, remains without an NBA debut as the Lakers cleared him for on-court contact and recalled him from the South Bay Lakers.
- Thiero offers the wing athleticism the Lakers lacked in a Wednesday blowout loss and, facing likely minute restrictions, could grab minutes from second-year guard Dalton Knecht.
- With two veterans ruled out, the Lakers' rotation faces immediate strain as Gabe Vincent and LeBron James remain sidelined, with James out at least two more weeks due to sciatica.
- The Pelicans, 2-9, host the Lakers Friday, and Thiero's questionable status could alter Los Angeles' rotation as soon as then.
