Brandon King

This injury ends what was a solid campaign numberwise for Ingram, as he averaged 18.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists , but was a frustrating season as a whole for the Los Angeles Lakers, as…

Kyrie Irving out against Kings with thigh contusion

Brandon King

Kyrie Irving will not be in the lineup when the Boston Celtics take on the Sacramento Kings Wednesday night.
