MIAMI >> The Lakers know they will have to somehow provide energy and teamwork without relying on Larry Nance Jr. The Lakers just do not know for how long.
Though an MRI taken on Wednesday showed a bone bruise in Nance’s left knee, the Lakers determined that further results were otherwise “inconclusive,” due to swelling in the knee. Nance plans to see a team physician on Sunday in Los Angeles in hopes for more clarity.
The Lakers (11-20) will miss Nance at least on Thursday against the Miami Heat (9-20) at American Airlines Arena and on Friday in Orlando.
