Lakers' Henry injures knee, set for MRI
Xavier Henry strained his knee in the first quarter of the Lakers' game
against Philadelphia on Sunday night, leaving Los Angeles without yet
another ball-handling guard.
Henry didn't return to the game after playing 4½ scoreless minutes. He will have an MRI exam Monday.
Henry filled in as the Lakers' point guard while their top three point
guards and Kobe Bryant were sidelined with injuries in recent weeks. He
returned to his role as a swingman and backup point guard when Jordan
Farmar recently got healthy.
Henry is off to a strong start to his first season with Los Angeles, averaging 10.4 points and 2.8 rebounds.
Kendall Marshall, who has barely played since arriving from the D-League earlier this month, took over as Farmar's backup.
