A sneak-peek at tomorrow’s story …

MILWAUKEE — Metta World Peace started Saturday night’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks on the bench, but Lakers coach Mike Brown indicated his days as a backup to small forward Matt Barnes could be nearing an end.

“I like him on the second unit,” Brown said. “I want to give him a chance to be with that second unit. But, at the end of the day, there is a chance I would throw him in the (starting) lineup if I thought it would help our team.

“Yeah, I’m not opposed to that.”
