Los Angeles Lakers point guard Isaiah Thomas is set to miss the team's next two games because of a stiff right hip.

Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times provided the update Saturday.

The 29-year-old University of Washington product will sit out Saturday night's contest with the Memphis Grizzlies and Monday's clash with the Detroit Pistons.

Thomas missed the first 36 games of the season while recovering from a hip injury that dogged him throughout the 2016-17 campaign. As a result, the Cleveland Cavaliers closely monitored Thomas' minutes before shipping him to the Lakers at the trade deadline.ย 

Inย 32 totalย appearances so far this season, Thomas is averagingย 15.2ย points andย 4.8ย assists.

The Lakers have Lonzo Ballย available to shoulder the load with Thomas out, but don't be surprised to seeย Tyler Ennisย pick up a few more minutes as well.ย
