Lakers' Luol Deng: Doubtful for Friday

Deng is dealing with a left knee contusion and is listed as doubtful for Friday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis:

Deng sustained the injury during Thursday's practice when he bumped into teammate Anthony Brown. If Deng sits out Friday as anticipated, rookie Brandon Ingram could enter the starting lineup and be in line for some extended run. We'll continue to monitor Deng's progress in the coming days, but this doesn't sound like the sort of injury that would keep him unavailable for long.
