Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton, who left a recent game due to an eye poke, humorously shared a photo on Instagram with a patch over his eye, adding a pirate emoji. After the game, Lakers coach JJ Redick noted Ayton looked “like a pirate,” and while Ayton finished with four points and eight rebounds, he is not expected to miss significant time due to the injury. Ayton, who joined the Lakers on a two-year deal after two seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, is averaging 13.9 points and 8.8 rebounds this season.
