The Los Angeles Lakers might have a depleted lineup on Tuesday when they face the Milwaukee Bucks. Lance Stephenson, Tyson Chandler, and Josh Hart have been listed as questionable to play.
Tyson Chandler (neck stiffness), Josh Hart (right knee tendinitis) and Lance Stephenson (left foot, second toe sprain) are QUESTIONABLE for tomorrow's game against the #Bucks in Milwaukee.

Stephenson, Chandler, and Hart have been dealing with their injuries since last month. They have been in and out of the lineup. That said, expect Moritz Wagner, Jonathan Williams, Alex Caruso, and Andre Ingram to log significant minutes for the team.
The Lakers are already without Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball, who were both shut down for the remainder of the season due to injuries.
LeBron James and Kyle Kuzma will once again be the primary options on offense.
The Lakers are currently 1-3 in their five-game Eastern Conference road trip, which will end against the Bucks Tuesday. They will then have a three-game homestand against the Brooklyn Nets, Sacramento Kings, and Washington Wizards.
Los Angeles is currently 31-39 for the season, and with the playoffs out of reach, the Lakers will most likely give the young guys a chance to show what they can do. The Lakers are once again hoping for a big splash this summer, when they make their pitch to big-name free agents. They would like to see who is worthy of being kept on a long-term basis.
Stephenson and Chandler could be off the team next season, since their contracts are only one-year deals.
