Lakers Lose Preseason Finale, Clarkson to Shoulder Injury

In the game preview I mentioned my only wish for the Lakers’ preseason finale was that they leave the game as healthy as they entered it. Well, if only wishing made it so. In the 2nd quarter, Jordan Clarkson injured his right shoulder and did not return. And if that wasn’t bad enough, post game, the news isn’t so great either:

Jordan Clarkson (sprained shoulder) will get an MRI tomorrow. Byron says it may jeopardize his availability for Wednesday's season opener.

Further reports from the post game locker room state Clarkson felt a sharp pain, though he thinks it’s “minor”.
