The Los Angeles Lakers have lost 12 of their last 17 games, and with a 19-21 record, they’re currently out of the Western Conference playoff picture. Although each of their next six games will take place at Crypto.com Arena, the schedule will not get easier for them.
They host the Oklahoma City Thunder (27-11), who are second in the West, on Monday. To make matters worse, they will be without one of their starters in that contest.
Forward Cam Reddish, who has played limited minutes in the last two games, will not appear in Monday’s game due to swelling in his left knee.
The Lakers say that Cam Reddish is out Monday vs. OKC because of swelling in his left knee.

In fact, he could end up being out of action for a little while.

Reddish has consistently started games for L.A. since early November, but his numbers have been lackluster. He had previously missed games with a groin ailment.
