Lakers lose Schruder to hand surgery for a month
The Lakers will be without Dennis Schroder in the first month of the regular season after the German guard underwent right thumb surgery.
Dennis Schroder’s injury problem turned out to be more serious than the Lakers anticipated. In fact, it’s so serious that it will keep him out of action for at least a month.
The German guard underwent right (shooting) thumb surgery to fix a ligament issue and will return in mid-November, meaning the Lakers will have to rely more on the trio of Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverley and Kendrick Nunn in the district.
The Lakers still have to do without Thomas Bryant in the opening game against the Warriors (October 19, 5:00 a.m.), and Russell Westbrook’s participation is also questionable.
