TALEN HORTON-TUCKER NEWS

Probable Monday Horton-Tucker (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Horton-Tucker was questionable heading into Sunday night's embarrassing loss to the Suns, but the Lakers never issued an official update on his status prior to game time. He ended up playing 22 minutes off the bench and finishing with a very poor three-points on 1-of-8 shooting (0-4 3Pt) to go with two rebounds and three assists. The 2019 second-rounder may still be bothered by the left ankle injury, but he's expected to play in the second half of the back-to-back.

Impact Horton-Tucker has been dealing with the sprained ankle for most of the month, missing two games. He's seen an uptick in minutes recently, but it hasn't resulted in more than low-level fantasy production.

Impact Back from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, Horton-Tucker faced no limitations Friday while serving as the Lakers' sixth man. Consistency has been an issue for Horton-Tucker all season long, but he's at least turned in two quality performances in a row, after he submitted 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in his previous game Monday in San Antonio.

Impact Horton-Tucker was considered probable for Wednesday as he continues to manage a sprained left ankle, but he's experiencing some renewed soreness and will sit out in Houston.

Impact Horton-Tucker was sidelined March 3 due to a left ankle sprain, but the third-year pro has suited up for back-to-back contests since initially suffering the injury. Barring a setback, he'll likely be available again Wednesday, though it's unclear if he will draw a second consecutive start.

Leads team with 18 points in start Horton-Tucker closed with 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 117-110 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Horton-Tucker showed no ill effects from the ankle injury that forced him to miss a game last week. Although the forward put up a flurry of solid scoring totals in November, his output has taken a hit. His 18-point effort Monday is an encouraging sign of life, as the Lakers desperately need help in all facets of gameplay.

Quiet in win Saturday Horton-Tucker (ankle) recorded two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 18 minutes during Saturday's 124-116 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Horton-Tucker missed the Lakers' previous game with an ankle injury, but he was able to return to the court Saturday. However, he didn't do much in his 18 minutes, missing all three of his field-goal attempts and chipping in minimal peripheral stats. Horton-Tucker scored 25-plus points in two of his first three games this season, but he hasn't posted more than 21 points in any contest since and is a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Impact Horton-Tucker sprained his left ankle during Tuesday's loss to the Mavericks and appeared set to play Thursday, but the ankle didn't feel 100 percent when it was tested pregame, resulting in him sitting out versus the Clippers. It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, so the 21-year-old should have a chance to take the court Saturday against Golden State.

Available Thursday Horton-Tucker (ankle) is set to play Thursday against the Clippers, Daniel Starkand reports.

Impact Horton-Tucker likely suffered his ankle injury during the Lakers' loss to the Mavericks on Tuesday. The forward has seen an abundance of minutes recently, and he will likely see more of the same, with Kent Bazemore and Wayne Ellington set to be his reserves.

Probable with sprained ankle Horton-Tucker is probable for Thursday's game against the Clippers with a sprained left ankle, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Horton-Tucker presumably picked up the injury during Tuesday's 109-104 loss to Dallas, when he had eight points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 33 minutes. He's still expected to play Thursday, so the injury apparently isn't a serious concern.

MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Production wanes in loss Horton-Tucker accumulated five points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 123-95 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Much like the rest of his team, Horton-Tucker was nothing but disappointing Sunday as the Lakers capitulated yet again. Despite the fact he had been playing better of late with three performances of 14-plus points in the four games prior to Sunday, it is hard to trust anyone on this roster right now not named LeBron James. Horton-Tucker certainly has some upside but until he can deliver on a consistent basis, managers are better served to shift their focus elsewhere.
