Lakers forward Larry Nance Jr. had an MRI exam Wednesday that showed a bone bruise, but was otherwise inconclusive because of swelling in his left knee.
The Lakers have said Nance will be out indefinitely. He will be reexamined by the team doctor Sunday.
Nance suffered the injury while chasing a loose ball during the third quarter of the Lakers’ 117-113 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Teammates helped Nance off the court.
Nance left the arena with the help of crutches.
Against the Hornets, Nance played for a little less than 21 minutes.
