Steve Blake returned from his elbow injury and failed to score in 32 minutes, but also had five rebounds, six assists and three steals in Tuesday's loss. He missed both of his shots, but also suffered a ruptured eardrum tonight. The good news is that he has been cleared to fly to Cleveland and was able to play through the injury.The weather in Cleveland is shaky and there are concerns about the Lakers being able to land at the airport tonight, but for now, Blake sounds like a go for Wednesday night against the Cavaliers. But with Steve Nash and Kendall Marshall healthy, and Jordan Farmar on his way back, Blake's going to have a tough time offering much consistency as Mike D'Antoni continue to mish-mash his lineup and rotation. On the other hand, Jodie Meeks (ankle) went down tonight and it doesn't sound like the Lakers plan on using Nash on Wednesday, which could mean another nice dose of minutes for Blake.
