Jordan Clarkson: Will not play Friday
Clarkson (knee) will not play Friday versus the Hawks, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Analysis:
Clarkson was questionable headed into the evening, but will be unable to participate due to a strained left knee. He did attempt to go through shootaround earlier Friday, so there was some optimism. However, the Lakers will opt to rest their young guard with his next opportunity to play being Sunday versus the Warriors. Nick Young should see more minutes than normal with Clarkson's absence.
