While the Golden State Warriors are busy preparing for the NBA Draft, eight teams are battling to advance to the Conference Finals inside the Orlando Bubble. With no hoops on the schedule in the Bay Area, Warriors Wire is checking in with former members of the Dubs at Disney World.
On Sunday, a former big man for the Golden State Warriors suited up for the Los Angeles Lakers. In game two against the Houston Rockets, JaVale McGee got the nod at the starting center position alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
McGee logged eight minutes against the Houston Rockets before exiting the game with left ankle pain in the third quarter. During his time on the floor, McGee went 0-of-1 from the field with two rebounds and a block.
According to Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet and Lakers.com, McGee will be listed as questionable for game three against Houston.
