The Los Angeles Lakers ended March the way most of the month went, with a loss and an injury to a key contributor in the process. After less than 14 minutes of action in a Laker uniform, Andre Drummond left Wednesday night’s loss against the Milwaukee Bucks, 112-97.
Drummond appeared to have his big toe and big toe wrapped in bandages. He went into the locker room early in the second half, which felt like a brutal blow to a Lakers team that had already relinquished an early lead. The Lakers started Wednesday night by making eight of their first 12 3-pointers but they were just two for 24 the rest of the way.
On the other side of things, the Bucks 3-point shooters shot a red-hot 53% from the 3-point line while Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez brutalized the Lakers at the rim.
Marc Gasol, who did not play until the fourth quarter, helped the Lakers on both ends when he did play but his boost was not enough to help tip the scales for a victory.
