Sasha Vujacic became the latest Lakers player to head for the trainer’s room, leaving the team with a muddled bill of health heading into tonight’s game in Houston and Wednesday’s in San Antonio.

Luke Walton and Jordan Farmar did not make the trip, and Vujacic did not board the charter flight Monday afternoon because of back spasms, though he might catch up to the team in the next day or two if his back settles down.

The injury report wasn’t all doom and gloom for the Lakers.

When Vladimir Radmanovic was inserted back into the starting lineup, his first two outings were so poor that Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said his small forward didn’t “merit starting.”

Four games after Radmanovic started in place of an injured Luke Walton (sore right foot), four games after getting his rhythm and legs beneath him, Radmanovic provided the Lakers with a solid performance Sunday night.
