Steve Blake Out For Season With Chicken Pox
LOS ANGELES (CBS) - Backup point guard Steve Blake is out for the remainder of the season with Chicken Pox as the Lakers play their final regular season home at Staples Center against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Lakers also enter Tuesday night's game as the 3rd seed in the West.
The Lakers come into it having been thrown around by Kendrick Perkins and the thunder Sunday for their 5th straight loss.
Not long ago, a threat to take the top seed, LA could now finish as low as 4th. The Spurs have won 4-straight and currently hold the league's best overall record.
Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest and Andrew Bynum have never had the contagious virus.
