Metta World Peace returned from a torn meniscus in his left knee earlier than anyone expected, but he admitted after Game 3 that the knee "was bummish" and that he is expecting to miss Game 4 on Sunday.

"I'll probably sit out Sunday," World Peace said. "... I was the weak link tonight."

World Peace went scoreless in 17 minutes on Friday, when the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a blowout loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3.

The Lakers are down 3-0 in the series and face elimination in Game 4.
