Lakers rule Avery Bradley out vs. Jazz with knee injury

Avery Bradley will not play Wednesday against the Utah Jazz due to a knee injury, per the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers listed the injury as a right knee effusion, so Bradley will be out at least until Feb. 25, which is when Los Angeles returns from the All-Star break to play the L.A. Clippers.

Bradley has appeared in 49 of 57 games with averages of 6.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.8 assists in 23.8 minutes. He’s shooting 41.1% overall and 38.1% from 3-point range. The 6-foot-2 guard has primarily played at the 2 with minutes also coming as a small-ball 3 in certain lineups.

Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) is also out, so he’ll get the All-Star break to rest. The Lakers are desperately missing his floor-spacing presence at the 4.
