Lakers’ Jordan Hill Out for Rest of the Season

Found January 13, 2013 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Jordan Hill,  Dwight Howard,  Pau Gasol
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers
Another day, another injury update for the Los Angeles Lakers. According to Dave McMenamin from ESPN LosAngeles, big man Jordan Hill will miss the rest of the regular season due to a hip injury. Hill underwent an arthrogram test Friday on his injured left hip, and results showed that he has loose fragments in addition to a possible torn labrum, according to the Lakers. Hill has been advised that surgery will be needed to repair the injury, which would cause him to miss the remainder of the season. He will seek a second opinion before he schedules surgery, Hill’s agent, Kevin Bradbury, told ESPNLosAngeles.com. “Kobe accidentally stepped on my foot, and it kind of took my leg out of place,” Hill said. This is obviously very frustrating news for the Lakers, as Hill is one of their most hardworking players. His services were needed more than ever, especially with the absence of Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol due to injury. Hill was averaging 6.7 points and 5.7 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game.

Earl Clark is making the best of his playing time

EL SEGUNDO Earl Clark savior? Or is it: Earl Clark savior! His performance in the next 46 games will ultimately provide the answer. The Lakers dont necessarily need the versatile 6-9 Clark to save them from playoff oblivion. They are, however, counting on him to replace the minutes and production of Jordan Hill. Numbers-wise hes been even better than the always-energized...

On the bright side for Kobe at least he isn’t getting divorced anymore. Call me crazy, but I think Bean is taking the losses a little harder than Dwight Howard. Remember when Jim Buss said it is 95% that Dwight re-signs with Lakers? He might have been using Romney math with that one. H/T @GrindTymeV

Jordan Hill’s Injury Adds to Evidence That Lakers Roster Was Flawed From Beginning

Via NESN.com  |  January 14, 2013
Red Auerbach had a saying when he was building championship-caliber Celtics teams as a coach and executive for 29 years: “Never trust any plan that hinges on Jordan Hill.” It was a remarkably forward-thinking slogan, considering Hill was not born when Auerbach gave up his general managing duties. Knowing Auerbach’s legendary foresight, though, it is not impossible to think...

LOS ANGELES -- There was a time when a 15-point win over the Los Angeles Lakers on their home floor was a cause for celebration. At least a smile or two. Not in the Oklahoma City Thunder locker room, though. Not with the Lakers just a shell of their former selves. Not with bigger fish to fry. These Thunder have their eyes on a grander prize.
