Ellington will come off the bench Sunday against the Hawks, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran guard had nine points (3-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds and a steal in a spot start Friday against the Hornets, and he'll move back to the bench with Anthony Davis (wrist) and Malik Monk (groin) rejoining the lineup. Ellington should still be involved as a reserve with LeBron James (knee) sidelined.

Ellington is starting Friday's game against the Hornets, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ellington has been on the fringes of the Lakers' rotation recently, but he should see increased run with LeBron James (knee) and Anthony Davis (wrist) unavailable Friday. He's averaged 5.0 points in 11.0 minutes per game across five appearances since the start of the calendar year.

Ellington (non-COVID illness) is listed as available for Wednesday's contest against the Grizzlies, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ellington didn't travel with the team to Houston for their contest Tuesday, but he apparently will meet them in Memphis for the second half of the Lakers' back-to-back. Before his absence, the veteran guard started the previous six games and averaged a modest 6.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals across 29.2 minutes during those contests. It's unclear if he will return to the starting lineup Wednesday.

Ellington (non-COVID illness) is listed as out for Tuesday's contest with the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports that Ellington did not travel with the team to Houston, which suggests that the veteran will not only be out Tuesday, but he will likely also be out for the second half of the Lakers' back-to-back road trip as well. During his absence, Avery Bradley, Malik Monk and Talen Horton-Tucker are expected to see increased minutes. Ellington will likely rejoin the team when they return to home to face the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Ellington will start Wednesday's game against the Mavs, Kyle Goon of Southern California News Group reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Talen Horton-Tucker in COVID-19 protocols, Ellington will slide into the lineup on the wing alongside Avery Bradley, Russell Westbrook, LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Ellington saw only seven minutes of action off the bench against Orlando on Sunday, but he should be looking at a boosted role for the next several games. Unless you're a fantasy manager in desperate need of threes, Ellington should remain on waivers in most leagues.
