Summary

The last several days have not been kind to the Lakers. They've yet to win a preseason game. Trevor Ariza is out indefinitely after ankle surgery. Malik Monk is sidelined (albeit hopefully not for long) with a groin issue. And then came Monday's news that Talen Horton Tucker will require surgery to repair torn ligaments in his thumb. It's not yet known how long the recovery will take, but it goes without saying that the Lakers will be without their emerging young player for a sizable period. Beyond the loss of THT's individual skills, the Lakers are extremely low on dudes who could conceivably (much less credibly) play small forward. It's basically now LeBron James, Kent Bazemore... and crickets. This was already a thin position on the roster, but Rob Pelinka seemed content to keep the fifteenth roster spot open, rather than add some depth, Now that feels damn near impossible to justify. Whether James Ennis, Wes Matthews or whoever, the Lakers need a live body who can credibly play 10-15 minutes at the spot. On the positive side, Tuesday's preseason game against the Warriors should finally feature the long-awaited preseason debuts of LeBron, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook as a trio. What will the Kamenetzkys be watching for as we finally see what this looks like? Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: What is the trickledown effect of Talen Horton-Horton out for the foreseeable future? SEGMENT 2: More on THT's injury, plus the need to find another legit small forward option. SEGMENT 3: What to watch for when LeBron, AD and Russ take the floor together.

0:00.0	Hey, everyone. Welcome to Lockdown Lakers for Tuesday, Brian Kiminetski and Andy Kiminetski.
0:04.8	The big three is going to make its debut together Tuesday night in the fifth preseason game
0:10.3	for the Lakers. The supporting cast around them, though, is looking awfully thin, a new
0:15.3	and very significant injury for the Lakers. We will break it all down next.
0:20.6	You're daily Los Angeles Lakers podcast, part of the Lockdown podcast network, your team,
0:29.6	every day.
0:30.6	I want to thank everybody for making Lockdown Lakers your first listen of every day, Monday

0:46.5	for Lockdown Lakers on YouTube. You get all the podcasts, but also Andy news like we
0:51.9	had today when it breaks like Dale and Horton Tucker's thumb. We post about that.
0:57.9	Most thumb ligaments to be more specific. Yes, and we will talk about that. There is
1:02.7	a universe, Andy, in which the Lakers, they get to camp, they've got all these new players
1:09.0	and everybody's on the floor and they're working through the preseason. It all looks
1:12.4	good and continuity is developing as the season begins. Good God, we do not live in that
1:17.6	world.
1:18.6	Nope.
1:19.6	So as the big three makes its debut on Tuesday night, something that we'll get to over
1:23.6	the course of the show, we really do need to start with what's going on with the rest
1:27.9	of the team because Trevor Riese already out two months with an ankle surgery. We learn
1:34.8	Malik Monk is going to miss the least of the rest of the preseason with a groin problem.
1:41.1	Taylor and Horton Tucker out indefinitely. A matter of weeks, I'm sure after he's going
1:48.5	to have surgery on his thumb to repair a torn ligament. This is very, very bad news, Andy.
