Dion Waiters

SG, Los Angeles Lakers

Dion Waiters (sore left groin) has been listed as questionable ahead of Game 5 vs. the Nuggets on Saturday.

Waiters has not played in almost three weeks as he continues to rehab his groin. The fact he has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable indicates he is getting closer to a return for the Lakers. With that being said, his availability will not automatically translate into playing time. Even if he is able to get back out there on Saturday, he is going to find it tough to crack the rotation given the team's recent success.
