Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope missed his third consecutive game, but the team got another body back with Alex Caruso.

Caruso had missed the previous five games for the Lakers because of the NBA’s health and safety protocols. He didn’t play when the Lakers completed their homestand against the Portland Trail Blazers and then didn’t travel for two games to San Antonio and two more to Memphis.

Despite not playing in almost two weeks, Lakers coach Frank Vogel said Caruso did not have a minutes’ restriction.“It’s just great energy, always gives us an uptick off the bench,” Vogel said on a videconference before Thursday night’s game. “The defense, his containment ability, his ability to be in the passing lanes and take charges and just really impact that side of the ball, which gets us out into transition and playing faster.
