Frank Vogel, Kent Bazemore enter health and safety protocol; Kendrick Nunn cleared

The Los Angeles Lakers have more personnel entering the NBA’s health and safety protocol prior to Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bulls.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel and veteran wing Kent Bazemore are the two new members of the team that are out, via Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet.

That means Bazemore will not get the start against Chicago. He started at small forward against the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday, but now there’s another hole on the roster.

Assistant coach David Fizdale will be the team’s acting head coach while Vogel is out.

The other news involved Kendrick Nunn. Nunn had entered protocol a few days ago but was cleared Sunday, via Trudell. Nunn, however, will still be out due to a knee injury he suffered early in the season and has yet to make his debut.
