Trevor Ariza is available and will make his season debut for the Los Angeles Lakers tonight, confirmed acting head coach David Fizdale.
The Lakers are on the road against the Chicago Bulls, but health and safety protocols have decimated the roster.
Los Angeles will be playing without seven players, not including Anthony Davis, who is out for at least four weeks with an MCL sprain.
Getting Ariza back is huge for the Lakers. The Lakers have been a team short on forward depth all season long, but Ariza’s defensive abilities will help L.A. on that end of the floor.
He’s also been a handy catch-and-shoot asset on offense, which will help LeBron James and Russell Westbrook.
