Lamar Odom sidelined by knee injury.
LAKERS FYI
The forward's playing status is listed as day-to-day. He won't play in tonight's game against the Golden State Warriors
Reporting from Oakland — The Lakers learned Wednesday that forward Lamar Odom suffered a bone bruise in his right knee and that his playing status will be listed as day-to-day.
Odom, given an MRI by team physician Dr. Steve Lombardo in Los Angeles earlier today, didn't travel with the Lakers and won't play in tonight's game against the Golden State Warriors.
Odom joins Lakers point guard Jordan Farmar, who is recovering from surgery to repair a torn ligament in his knee and is expected to be out at least another six weeks, and Luke Walton, who will be out at least another two weeks because of a sore right foot, on the injured list.
Despite all the injuries, the Lakers have said they won't rush to add a player. They have a 14-man roster, which leaves them room to sign another player, up to the league maximum of 15.
Odom was injured after bumping into New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul while he was driving for a layup with about three minutes left in the second quarter of Tuesday night's game at Staples Center.
Odom was called for the foul on the play and immediately grabbed his knee.
"Not happy about that," Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said after Tuesday night's game. "We'll have to have some other guys help us."
Odom, a 6-10 forward, was averaging 8.8 points and 6.1 rebounds in 26.2 minutes this season.
The Lakers play again Friday night at Staples Center against the Indiana Pacers.
