Talen-Horton Tucker is averaging 11.3 ppg this season for the Lakers.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Lakers forward Talen Horton-Tucker has entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols.

Dwight Howard also entered the league protocols and won’t play Wednesday.

The Lakers also canceled practice Tuesday ahead of their flight to Dallas for a game on Wednesday night (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).

The 21-year-old Horton-Tucker is averaging 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists as a regular starter for the Lakers (15-13), who have won five of seven.

Los Angeles’ up-and-down season has been affected by injuries more than virus concerns. LeBron James missed a game at Sacramento earlier this month and had to travel separately back home after an apparent false positive test.
