Lakers' Luol Deng: Out indefinitely with injured wrist

Deng will not play in Tuesday's matchup against the Nuggets, and is out indefinitely due to an injured wrist, Lakers' analyst Mike Bresnahan reports.

Analysis:

Deng sat out of Sunday's loss to the Clippers for rest purposes, but returned to action Sunday against the Pistons. He played 36 minutes in that contest, and sustained a wrist injury in the process. The team never mentioned him on the injury report heading into the game, so his absence comes as a surprise. Rookie Brandon Ingram figures to see an increased role with the team while Deng is sidelined.
