Lakers' Carmelo Anthony: Remains out Friday

Anthony (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Anthony will miss a second straight game due to a non-COVID illness. The Lakers will also be without LeBron James (ankle), Anthony Davis (foot) and Russell Westbrook (shoulder), so Malik Monk and Talen Horton-Tucker are expected to garner increased offensive responsibilities once again.
