The hobbled Lakers
There was news from the Lakers' pregame media access, and none of it was good. Maurice Evans will miss tonight's game with a sore back and likely will be out Friday as well. Kwame Brown is out as well, with some sort of a heel injury.
Brown's absence means a start for either Andrew Bynum or Chris Mihm, and Jackson seemed to be leaning toward Mihm, under the theory that Bynum plays better with his minutes limited.
