Los Angeles Lakers: Predicting starting lineup and rotation
By Dan Lovi
No. 11: Moritz Wagner
Unfortunately for Moritz Wagner, he didn’t see a lot of playing time in Las Vegas after suffering an injury in the Lakers’ third NBA Summer League game.
A left knee contusion kept the No. 25 overall pick sidelined for the remainder of summer.
#LakersSummer MEDICAL UPDATE: Center Moritz Wagner, who was injured in the second quarter of last night’s summer league game against the Knicks, underwent an MRI today. Results of the MRI confirmed a left knee contusion.

Wagner did play well in the inaugural California Classic in Sacramento, averaging 14.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 29.7 minutes per game. He also played well in the first two games in Vegas before getting hurt.
Moe is expected to be ready for training camp and could earn a rotation spot.
