Laker injuries just keep on coming: Ariza out 6-8 weeks with broken foot

[DazedAndConfused]

Wow, almost a mirror image of last season as far as injuries go. Ariza is the latest to fall victim to falling on Lamar Odom's foot causing injury. What was once a promising start now looks like another inevitable 8th seed 1st round exit, if they make the playoffs.

Ariza is injury prone and they knew it. But what more can u ask for with Evans and Cook?

[DazedAndConfused]

Yup word is Ariza has structural foot problems that were bound to catch up with him sooner of later. It was still a good trade for LA though, they managed to dump Cook's toxic contract and pickup a solid role player in Ariza. He should be back just before the playoffs, hopefully he'll have enough time to get back into rhythm.

and the Lakers downfall continues

[Medvedenko]

Fuck...that's Odom injuring another player.....get him out of P&G....

Lakers fans knew somehting like this was going to happen around this time of year.

[Sportcamper]

Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said Kwame Brown would not be excluded from the offense tonight against the Nuggets, even though Denver center Marcus Camby was last season's NBA defensive player of the year. :lol

Are all the Lakers injury prone?

[LakeShow]

:pctoss damn!

I think this injury hurts Ariza more than it hurts the Lakers. He's fairly new trying to perfect the triangle. This time off is going to hurt that development.
