A win Tuesday night would lock the Lakers into a first-round playoff series against Memphis.
Over the weekend, the purple and gold added depth to its postseason roster by signing Tristan Thompson and Shaquille Harrison.The Lakers are 1-2 against the Timberwolves this season and Tuesday, Minnesota is without at least two of its starters.
Before the altercation, rising star Jaden McDaniels punched a wall on the way to the locker room at halftime. It will be a revenge game of sorts for Russell, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt who get a chance to beat their former team.
