Lakers' JaVale McGee: Cleared for Game 3

McGee (ankle) has been cleared for Tuesday's Game 3 against the Rockets after his MRI returned negative, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports. He will not be on a minutes limit.

McGee tweaked the ankle during the first half of Sunday's Game 2 victory and did not return to the contest after playing eight minutes. However, he's feeling good enough to take the court for Game 3 with the series tied. In these playoffs, McGee is averaging 4.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 12.6 minutes.
