LAS VEGAS — After missing the first two summer league games because of a laceration in his left eye, Lakers guard Jabari Brown received medical clearance to play in Monday’s game against the New York Knicks at Thomas & Mack Center.

Brown hasn’t fulled healed his left eye yet. He will wear goggles to protect his eye from further damage. The Lakers also plan to evaluate him once Summer League play ends, which could be as late as July 20.

Brown was poked in his left eye last Monday during practice and has not played since then.

The Lakers signed Brown to a non-guaranteed contract for the 2015-16 season after impressing the team as a late-season pickup because of endless injuries. Brown, who went undrafted after playing at Missouri alongside Jordan Clarkson, averaged 11.9 points on 41.2 percent shooting in 29.9 minutes through 19 games.
