Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will not be in the Lakers’ lineup for the game against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday.

Caldwell-Pope is dealing with a left ankle sprain he suffered in the game against the Spurs on January 1st.

This will be the third straight game Caldwell-Pope will miss for the Lakers, however he is expected to return to action in the coming days.

Kyle Kuzma is expected to replace Caldwell-Pope in the starting lineup of the defending champions.
