SAN FRANCISCO — The Lakers will be without one of their starting wings when they kick off NBA Cup Group Play action against the Warriors on Friday night at Chase Center.
Ziaire Williams is missing his second straight game, with the Lakers ruling him out against the team’s in-state rival six hours before tipoff because of left foot injury management.
The 6-foot-10 wing entered Friday as questionable.
He also sat out of Wednesday’s win over the Clippers, with his injury designation being left foot soreness.
Williams started in the four regular-season games he’s played in so far, plus the two preseason games he suited up for.
Williams last played in Tuesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, recording 11 points, four assists and two steals in 29 minutes.
He’s averaging 11.3 points on 57.1% shooting (46.7% on 3-pointers), three rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
The Lakers remain without Cameron Carr (right oblique strain) and Adou Thiero (left knee injury management).
Thiero’s injury was changed from being listed as “left knee effusion/swelling” to injury management ahead of the win over the Clippers.
