3 years agoLos Angeles Lakers small forward
Wayne Ellington (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, marking his first absence since Nov. 2. Ellington had started each of L.A.'s prior six outings, with
Malik Monk and
Stanley Johnson likely to see elevated roles in the veteran's absence. Ellington has served almost entirely as a three-point shooting asset for the Lakers, with just four of his 41 shots over his last six games coming from inside the arc; despite that, the 34-year-old has not cracked into the double-digit scoring column since Nov. 24. Ellington did not travel with the team, which puts his status for Wednesday's game vs. Memphis into question as well.

3 years agoLos Angeles Lakers guards
Rajon Rondo (ankle) and
Wayne Ellington (hamstring) are both questionable to play Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ellington has yet to see the floor this season while Rondo is dealing with some ankle soreness after playing 16 minutes off the bench on Wednesday. Neither have offered fantasy appeal this season and are a few key injuries away from being on the fantasy radar when healthy.

3 years agoLos Angeles Lakers guard
Wayne Ellington (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest. The veteran guard remains day-to-day due to a lingering hamstring issue. The Lakers are hopeful that Ellington can get back into the lineup next week. There is a good chance that
Kent Bazemore will lose playing time and touches once Ellington returns. There isn't a ton of value here, but Ellington could be worth monitoring in deep leagues.
