Lakers' Luol Deng: Questionable vs. Denver

Deng (knee) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis:

Deng is still recovering from the left knee bruise that kept him out of action in the Lakers' initial matchup with the Nuggets on Friday. The Lakers have no reason not to exercise caution with the veteran, so his status could come down to a game-time decision.
