LOS ANGELES -- Forward Larry Nance Jr. will miss about four weeks because of a bone bruise in his left knee, the Los Angeles Lakers announced Sunday.



Nance suffered the injury Dec. 20 in Charlotte and was examined by the Lakers' team physician, Dr. David McAllister of UCLA Health, before Sunday's111-102 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.



For both the Lakers and Nance, there is no doubt relief that the injury is just a bone bruise and not something more serious.



The second-year forward is averaging 7.0 points and 5.5 rebounds off the bench.
