|

If you didn't watch last night, Clarkson sprained his right ankle twice during the game. Tidbits from Mike Trudell's twitter:
| Quote: | Mike Trudell @LakersReporter · 13h 13 hours ago
Jordan Clarkson tweaked his R ankle, but simply got up, re-tied his shoe and ran down the floor. Telling his teammates: "I'm all right."
|
| Quote: | | Since tweaking that ankle, Clarkson has stayed in the game and is moving around OK. Tough kid, didn't even consider coming out. |
| Quote: | | Clarkson told me coming out of halftime that the ankle is sore, but he's OK, that it definitely won't keep him off the court. |
| Quote: | | Clarkson twisted that same right ankle when Ray McCallum - called for a PF - didn't give him room to land. But he's staying in. |
| Quote: | | Clarkson told Byron Scott and Gary Vitti he wanted to stay in the game. Just 1:30 to go. He'll be sore, but says he's OK. |
| Quote: | | Stay tuned for an update on Clarkson's right ankle. If it's up to him, he'll want to play on Wednesday if it's a normal sprain. We'll see. |
So obviously Clarkson's a gamer and wants to play. The question is, should the Lakers let him play?

If it's fine, let him play. If not, sit him. If tests prove he's good to go, let him go out on a high note.

Let him sit. No need to risk anything. Time to finally see Tarik Black, PG/C.

| I voted no. I think if he has to play it should be very limited minutes. It's probably best to just put out whoever is healthy and let the season mercifully end. JB can be the point for most of the game or they can have bring the ball up by committee. |

| Yes, get him another game of experience under his belt if he's healthy. |

| I'd probably rest him if I were coach, but if he really wants to play, then why not? |

| Nope. We've had bad mojo in the last few years. Look at what happened to Randle... |

| It's not serious, he should be able to play and finish out the season. |

| this poll is still dead even, I'd probably err on the side of caution and sit him. Even though I want to see him play |

Nope, the kid has proven his point for next season; no need to let him get injured on the last game of the season. Let him rest....

| Home game, last game of his rookie campaign. Let him play it out on a high note instead of the last image of his 2015 season being bush leagued by a scrub. |

If Clarkson feels fine, than let him play. It's his last game as a rookie and last home game of the season.
Obviously don't play him 47 minutes like last time but let him leave on a high note. Assuming again, if he is up to it. If not, rest him and enjoy the summer. |

Jordan Clarkson will not play tonight after spraining his ankle at Sacramento. Wesley Johnson (ankle) is also out.

What did Vitto do wrong? Twist your ankle twice in a game and limp around like he did at the end, and you're lucky if it's not a 2weeker. Maybe more |

| Kills what little interest I had in watching, but a good move. Why send him in when he's already banged up for a meaningless game? Let him heal and train in the off season so he can come back better than ever next season. |

You've gotta be kidding me.
Vitti is doing the right thing not letting the kid play in a meaningless game. |
