Los Angeles Lakers backup big man Jordan Hill has a bone bruise in his right knee, according to the team. Hill missed practice Monday in order to undergo an MRI on the joint, which revealed the injury. The 26-year-old Hill missed the team flight to Dallas for the first leg of the Lakers' three-game road trip against the Mavericks, Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans this week, but will fly commercial to meet the team in Dallas on Monday night. He is available to play in Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
