Deng (knee) is listed as doubtful for Friday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deng bruised his left knee when he bumped into teammate Anthony Brown at practice on Thursday. Brown and rookie Brandon Ingram will likely get the biggest bump in minutes Friday should Deng indeed miss the game. Deng's next opportunity to return to the court will be Sunday, when the Lakers take on the Nuggets again.
