Forward Vladimir Radmanovic is out eight weeks after falling on a patch of ice Saturday in Park City, Utah, and sustaining a separated right shoulder.
Radmanovic told the Lakers he was walking when he slipped. Some pro sports contracts ban players from taking part in activities involving significant risk of injury, such as skiing and snowboarding. It is not known if Radmanovic’s contract contained such language.
An MRI exam and CT scan conducted Monday in Los Angeles confirmed the injury as a separated shoulder.
“It’s the latest incident in a season-long series of injuries,” Lakers spokesman John Black said. “Guys are going to have to step up and fill the void.”
