Zeke Nnaji Expected to Play Against Lakers Despite Ankle Injury

Zeke Nnaji is likely to play in Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers despite dealing with a minor ankle injury. He has been listed as probable due to a left ankle sprain but has not missed a game since January 31. In recent performances, Nnaji has struggled with limited minutes and scoring, averaging 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in his last five games. His playing time may increase if Aaron Gordon is unable to play due to his own calf injury. Overall, the Denver Nuggets have a favorable record with Nnaji in the lineup, winning 31 out of 45 games he has participated in. Nnaji's performance and potential increased minutes could be crucial for the team's upcoming game.
