Steve Blake Out with Chicken Pox

In adults, pocks are more painful and prominent than in children. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery for the Lakers‘ backup PG: “Steve Blake is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with the chicken pox on Tuesday morning. The team learned of Blake’s condition after the team’s shootaround in preparation for Tuesday’s game against San Antonio. He’ll very likely miss Wednesday’s game at Sacramento as well in advance of the playoffs, which start either Saturday or Sunday. Blake will be monitored throughout the week.”
