Lakers key piece expected to make season debut vs. Clippers

The Lakers’ backcourt is about to get a lot healthier.

Backup guard Collin Sexton was taken off of the team’s injury report and is expected to be available for Friday’s home game against the Clippers after dealing with a strained right soleus (calf). 

Sexton sat out of Wednesday’s season-opening win over the Warriors and the entire preseason with the injury.

He was a full participant in practice for the first time on Monday, but sat out against the Warriors.

“No setback, no setback,” coach JJ Redick said Wednesday. “Collaborative decision with performance, everyone involved. I always say this, with soft tissue injuries, the athlete has to have confidence and full confidence.”
