Perkins Sidelined by Broken Toe
Laker forward Sam Perkins has a broken small left toe and will be out at least a week, the team announced Monday.
Perkins suffered the injury a week ago at Phoenix, but it was diagnosed as a sprain. He sat out one game but returned to play against the Boston Celtics and Portland Trail Blazers.
He had 13 points and 12 rebounds in Sunday’s victory over Portland but reaggravated the injury. Further tests revealed a fracture.
A.C. Green will start in his place as the Lakers start a six-game trip in Houston tonight.
