The Los Angeles Lakers' snake-bit season continued Tuesday with Metta World Peace receiving an MRI exam in Minneapolis that showed a cartilage tear in the lateral meniscus of his left knee. World Peace will return to Los Angeles, where he will be examined Wednesday by team doctor Steve Lombardo, forcing him to miss that night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. An update, including a timetable for his return, will be issued at the conclusion of his examination, according to the team.
