The Lakers said this morning that forward Lamar Odom has a bone bruise in his right knee and will miss tonight’s game against the Warriors in Oakland.

His availability for future games is day-to-day, the team said.

Odom injured his right knee in the second quarter of last night’s loss to the Hornets. He had an MRI today and was examined by Dr. Steve Lombardo.

Still, the news is fairly good for the Lakers, who are suddenly resembling a MASH unit. Guard Jordan Farmar is out till February, after having knee surgery; forward Luke Walton is out two weeks because of a sore right foot.

That leaves the Lakers a bit depeleted in the frontcourt.

Last night Vladimir Radmanovic started at small foward, in place of Walton, and played 23 minutes, while forward Trevor Ariza came off the bench and played for 26 minutes.
