Devean George, averaging 6.5 points as the Lakers' sixth man, is out for at least a week because of a sore left foot.
 
George took a red-eye flight after Sunday's game against Chicago to have his foot examined by the Indianapolis doctor who performed his ankle surgery last year. An MRI exam and CT scan were negative.

George joins a growing list of injured Lakers: starter Kwame Brown and reserves Slava Medvedenko and Luke Walton.

"We're hurting," said Walton, who hoped to return Thursday against the Seattle SuperSonics. "But, I guess, better to get hurt now than later."
