Lakers receive major Marcus Smart injury news: Will he play vs. Nuggets?

After missing the team's previous win over Chicago due to a hip injury, Smart is now set to return for LA's weekend clash against Denver.

It appears that Marcus Smart is all geared up to finally return to the Los Angeles Lakers' lineup.

Denver Nuggets / Schedule

After missing a game due to his nagging hip injury, Smart's name is no longer on the injury report and is set to play in the Lakers' Saturday clash against the Denver Nuggets.

Smart was absent in LA's 142-130 win last Thursday over the Chicago Bulls. As such, he is poised to regain his starting role over Rui Hachimura.

The comeback of the veteran will be crucial, as the Lakers will aim to secure their fifth consecutive victory.

Smart has appeared in 55 games so far this season. He is averaging 9.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists with 1.4 steals.
