OH. - THT

Per Oram

Also, not sure what is out there on this, but Talen Horton-Tucker is not in uniform tonight despite being listed as probable with a left ankle sprain suffered in Tuesday's loss to Dallas.

Lakers said Horton-Tucker tested out his ankle pregame and wasn't 100% so he was held out.
