Jordan Hill has been arguably the most effective Lakers big man this season, his energy creating more than a couple extra possessions in each game. However, Hill missed practice Monday afternoon to get an MRI on his knee, revealing a bone bruise.

As stated, Hill is expected still play Tuesday evening, but he could be hobbled. With the Lakers facing three games in four days, Hill’s injury is something the fans and especially the team will be keeping an eye on.
