Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Does Not Return After Achilles Strain
7 years agoLos Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Achilles) limped his way to the locker room after a run-in with Russell Westbrook. KCP did not return to the lineup for the rest of the night, with Josh Hart stepping back into the starting lineup. KCP finished the game with 10 points, two assists and two steals in 15 minutes. This is a blow to KCP owners, as he had been hitting his stride as of late with his legal issues behind him. In the five games leading up to Wednesday, KCP had put up 16.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, an elite 2.2 steals and three triples on a promising 50.9 percent from the floor. Owners should keep a close eye out for the severity of his Achilles strain. If he does miss some time, Hart will see a minutes increase.
