Asa Newell Injury: Iffy to face LAL

Published on January 12, 2026

Newell (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Newell sustained a right quadriceps contusion in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Warriors and was unable to return. Now, he's in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's contest. If the rookie first-rounder is ultimately ruled out, Mouhamed Gueye could see a slight bump in minutes.
