Steve Blake (abdomen) did not practice on Monday. No word yet on his availability for Tuesday. Darius Morris has started three straight games with Blake (and Steve Nash) out, averaging 6.0 points and 4.0 assists in those games.

Steve Blake (abdomen) has been ruled out for the Lakers on Sunday. Darius Morris will earn another start at PG, with Chris Duhon in a support role. In other news, Mike D'Antoni said he hopes to coach on Sunday but isn't sure if he'll have the energy, and put his odds as '50-50'.

Steve Blake (abdomen) did not practice on Saturday. There's a good chance that he will be out for Sunday's game after already missing two games. The Lakers haven't got much out of their sophomore point guard Darius Morris and he's not on the radar for anything outside of a desperate spot-start option.

Steve Blake (strained abdomen) will be a game-time decision on Friday. If he plays, Blake would get a healthy dose of minutes with Steve Nash (leg) still on the sidelines. Mike D'Antoni said during his introductory press conference that he's been hoping to coach Blake for the past 10 years, adding, "He's perfect for this system." MDA's system may play to the strengths of Blake and Chris Duhon, but we're unswayed by his glowing optimism.

Steve Blake (strained abdomen) has "slightly better than 50-50" odds to play vs. the Suns on Friday. Blake's return will bump Darius Morris back to the bench, while also cutting into Chris Duhon's minutes.

Steve Blake (abdomen) missed Tuesday's game against the Spurs and isn't sure when he'll be able to return. Blake said he won't rush anything and will back down if he experiences pain. Darius Morris got the start Tuesday, but struggled the Lakers ran most of their offense through Kobe Bryant. Morris and Chris Duhon will share time with Blake and Steve Nash (leg) out, but don't expect much in the way of fantasy value.

Steve Blake (abdomen) will not play on Tuesday against the Spurs. Chris Duhon profiles as the guy to start against the veteran Spurs, but Darius Morris is the better fantasy play and is the first player name coming out of beat writers' mouths right now. We've long liked Morris as a second round standout from his draft class, but he has been on the shelf for most of his time as a professional.

Steve Blake will not practice on Monday and will have an ultrasound on his abdomen instead. Blake is in a lot of pain and it would not be surprising to see him miss a couple games with the injury. With Steve Nash (leg) also out, the Lakers really don't have a point guard right now. Look for Kobe Bryant to pick up the slack, although Chris Duhon looks like the likely starter if Blake misses time.

Steve Blake strained an abdominal muscle during Sunday's game -- he briefly returned to start the second half, but left again after just a few minutes. Blake wound up with two points and four assists in 14 minutes. The Lakers are down to just Darius Morris on the PG depth chart, though Steve Nash (leg) could return in a week and we're considering Blake questionable for Tuesday's game vs. the Spurs.

Steve Blake got into it with a fan near the end of Friday's loss to the Clippers and was fined $25,000. He met with the fan on Tuesday and apologized, and will continue to start at point guard for the Lakers while Steve Nash is out for another week with a broken leg. However, Blake isn't worth owning in most fantasy leagues.
