0:00.0	Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakers Nation.com podcast. My name's Trevor Lane, and it's Game Day. Lakers Grizzlies 7.30 p.m. Pacific time tonight. The Lakers badly needed to pick up a win. They've lost four of their last five. Not great. Got to get it done tonight and get back to their winning ways. Come to hang out with me tonight. 7.30 p.m. Pacific time.
0:21.3	We'll be live on the Lakersnation.com YouTube channel doing a little play-by-play, breaking down the game
0:25.7	as it happens. It's like a party. Okay, lately it hasn't been the most fun party, but we get
0:32.4	through it together. Hopefully tonight will be a lot more fun against Memphis. Today I'm going to get into the injury report plus what the Lakers need to do in order to get the win.

1:30.3	The last bit of news we got was a do zero with an MCL sprain.
1:34.0	He's also looking likely to be out probably when you factor in a return to play, ramp up,
1:40.5	all that we're probably looking at right around the all-star break as well similar to
