EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Pau Gasol will miss his second straight game with an upper respiratory infection when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night, coach Mike D'Antoni said following shootaround Sunday morning.
Center Chris Kaman, who started in Gasol's place during L.A.'s 105-103 loss to the Utah Jazz on Friday, was able to participate in shootaround but is considered a game-time decision against Philadelphia with a moderate left ankle sprain. D'Antoni said Kaman's participation was "encouraging."

It will be the third time in the Lakers' last five games that Gasol will sit out with the respiratory condition after starting the season playing in the first 26 games. Gasol also suffered from a respiratory infection in the beginning of the season, but was able to play through it. Gasol, the league's seventh-highest paid player making $19.3 million this season, earns approximately $175,325 every game whether he plays or not.
The 13-year veteran is averaging 14.7 points and 9.4 rebounds on a career-low 44.6 percent shooting this year.
D'Antoni said he expected Gasol to be back in the lineup Tuesday when the Lakers host theMilwaukee Bucks on New Year's Eve.
"He's feeling a lot better, he feels better," D'Antoni said. "I would think next game he would be ready to go."
D'Antoni said that regardless of whether Kaman is available Sunday, he would likely adjust the starting lineup further by putting Jordan Hill with the first unit. Hill had 16 points and 9 rebounds in 23 minutes against Utah. It will be the Lakers' 16th different starting lineup through their first 31 games.
L.A. comes into the match-up with Philadelphia on a season-high four-game losing streak.
"We just got to get a little bit of a swagger back and we can start this week," said D'Antoni, looking ahead to L.A.'s four-game home stand that starts Sunday. "We need to."
What happened to those commercials?![]()
This is the 3rd anniversary of Pau mysteriously geting sick and/or hurt as the trading deadline nears. Not worried here tbh.![]()
Worry:::like a said a few days ago:::don't be a bit surprised that after the first of the year the Lakers start hinting at extending this waste of space. I can see it coming as sure as the turnin' of the earth.
Less chances he has to disappoint us now
^& he reminds of that other asshole:::Samaki Walker...you could not kill that SOB's spirits with silver bullets and a wooden stake. That mother er, he would up and then stand tall & righteous like he was king of the world. That SOB.
Without Pau there's no 4 or 5. You nary any room for criticism
How in the can you compare Samaki in' Walker to Pau Gasol? Madness.
& yet without MVPau as the alpha, Kirby's still on the end of the 4>3 stick against both Daddy and Duncan....
Please. Gasol has never won a single playoff game without Kobe.
& don't start your tonite, CN. I ain't in the mood.
MVPau carried Kirby to the good end of the 5>4 stick all by himself....tee, hee.
Chicken& don't start your tonite, CN. I ain't in the mood.
Preach on brotha, preach on.![]()
That doesn't mean Gasol didn't fortify a wounded Kobe.
And how many playoff series did Kirby win post-Shaq and before Pau came to town? 0.
and yet all the Laker fans talking about him on here are only here because of MVPau. is the Rodney Dangerfield of the NBA, unreal with some of these clowns.
Lakers are ing depressing to watch. Its like jacking off to porn and right before you you realize its tranny porn.
^Cept Pau has never won a single playoff game without Kobe.
Tank, Err ..rebuild ...hopefully We don't make playoffs
