The Lakers are back home following a three-game road trip in which they suffered an historic, 49-point loss to the Dallas Mavericks. They are currently on a 2-8 streak in their last 10 games.
Randle missed the team’s last game against the Utah Jazz with an illness, which we now know more about. He’s been a solid player for Los Angeles this year, which is his third in the NBA, averaging 13 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 0.5 blocks per game.
