Thunder's Enes Kanter: Will play Friday vs. Lakers

Kanter (forearm) will play during Friday's tilt against the Lakers, Erik Horne of the Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

As expected, Kanter will take the floor Friday after missing the team's previous 10 games. The Thunder could opt to limit his playing time however, as they've acquired big man Taj Gibson from the Bulls. That being said, Kanter will likely return to his normal role sooner than later, as the Thunder are making a playoff push.
