The Lakers continue to debate internally what type of financial punishment to give forward Vladimir Radmanovic, who suffered a separated shoulder in a snowboarding accident over the All-Star break.

Radmanovic, in the first year of a five-year, $30.2-million contract, will be out for eight weeks, approximately 20 to 25 games. He initially told team officials he slipped on a patch of street ice after getting coffee with a friend in Park City, Utah. He admitted lying about it last week.

Attempting to void his contract is considered too extreme by Lakers officials, but a fine is expected in the next day or two.

"We're continuing with our internal discussions," Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak said. "The team was out of town for three days so we put it on hold until our staff got back."
