And so continues the Lakers point guard woes. Prior to Sunday’s game against Philly, four of the five Lakers to start at point guard this year had went down with a significant injury.
Make it a perfect five for five.
Xavier Henry has a strained right knee and will not return tonight. He'll have an MRI in the morning.

Xavier Henry joined the list by going down with a knee injury during the first half of the game against the 76ers. On top of being the fifth point guard, he joins Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol, and Steve Blake on the currently injured list.
Moral of the story? Stop playing point guard for the Lakers.
