In a sentence that has been written too many times to count, the Lakers lost another player to a season-ending injury.
Lakers guard Wayne Ellington will miss the remainder of the Lakers’ 2014-15 season because of a separated right shoulder. The injury, which an MRI confirmed as a grade 1 separation, happened during a collision toward the tail end of the Lakers’ loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday at Staples Center.
That all sparked an interesting discussion Thursday night on Time Warner Cable’s Access SportsNet. Then, host Chris McGee, analyst Dave Miller and I analyzed Ellington’s impressive season and how he has coped with adversity far more serious than the Lakers’ 20-54 record and his latest injury.
