Expected to play Friday Coach Frank Vogel said Anthony (hamstring) is "expected" to play Friday against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Impact This doesn't come as a surprise, as the veteran forward is listed as probable, but it should still give fantasy managers confirmation that Anthony will be ready to go following a five-game absence heading into the All-Star break. Anthony is averaging 13.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 26.5 minutes per game, but he may be limited during his first game action since Feb. 3.

Out Saturday Anthony (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's game against the Knicks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Anthony exited Thursday's loss to the Clippers after just 11 minutes due to a right hamstring strain. The Lakers believe he avoided a major injury, but the team will err on the side of caution and hold him out for at least one game.
