Steve Blake (abdomen) will not play in any of the Lakers next three games. Darius Morris will continue to start in Blake's absence with Steve Nash (leg) still sidelined as well. "I would like to see him practice before he plays," Mike D'Antoni said. The coach is hopeful Blake will be ready to play after the three-game stretch, and while Morris will start, he holds no value in standard leagues as Kobe Bryant will serve as the Lakers playmaker.
