The Lakers will still be missing LeBron James and Anthony Davis when they take the court on Thursday night to face the new-look Miami Heat, but there is some good news on the injury front for the defending champions.
New arrival Andre Drummond – who suffered a toe injury in his debut for the Lakers and has since been out of the lineup – is set to return in a matchup with Heat star Bam Adebayo.
The Lakers will also welcome their latest acquisition, veteran sharpshooter Ben McLemore. Lakers coach Frank Vogel confirmed that McLemore could make his debut in Miami.
Thursday’s game will tip off at 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT.
Frank Vogel said Ben McLemore will be available tonight against the Heat.
Andre Drummond will return from the toe injury.
Kyle Kuzma is questionable with calf tightness and will be a game time decision.
