Ruled out for Friday
Thiero (knee) won't play Friday versus the Nets.
Analysis
Thiero will miss his second straight game due to the knee issue, but he's a negligible part of the rotation anyway. His next chance to suit up will come Monday against the Wizards.

Out for Wednesday
Thiero (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis
Thiero is not usually in the rotation for the Lakers, so his absence won't have many fantasy implications. He's made only four appearances since playing double-digit minutes against the Spurs on Feb. 10.

Game-time call vs. Pacers
Thiero is questionable for Wednesday's game against Indiana due to left knee soreness.
Analysis
It's unclear as to when this injury popped up for Thiero, who logged two minutes Monday night against Detroit. He's appeared in three games for the Lakers in March, so even if he is cleared to play, he's unlikely to be much of a factor.

Back with parent club
The Lakers recalled Thiero from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Thiero and Kobe Bufkin were both inactive for Saturday's 105-104 win over the Magic, but the two will rejoin the Lakers ahead of their next game Monday in Detroit. Thiero hasn't typically been included in the rotation when the Lakers are at full strength, but he could be needed to handle some minutes if Rui Hachimura (calf) and Marcus Smart (ankle) -- both of whom are listed as questionable -- are unable to play Monday.

Assigned to G League
The Lakers assigned Thiero to the G League's South Bay Lakers on Friday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Thiero continues to bounce back and forth between the G League and the NBA. The rookie forward has a much clearer path to consistent developmental reps with South Bay.
