A recent MRI has revealed that newly acquired Lakers? center, Vlade Divac, has a herniated disk in his back.  The injury took place during an informal on-court drill at the HealthSouth Training Center.

"It's hard to determine what effect it's going to have," Laker General Manager Mitch Kupchak said. "? We're going to try and treat it conservatively. We're hoping that in two or three weeks he'll be fine. If he's not, we'll look to the next step."
