After injuries to Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol, the Los Angeles Lakers’ frontline has been further decimated with the loss of Jordan Hill for at least a week, a league source told Yahoo! Sports.

An MRI exam on Monday revealed a small muscle tear in Hill’s hip, a source said.

With Howard, Gasol and Hill sidelined for the immediate future, the Lakers are embarking on four games in six nights, beginning with back-to-backs against Houston and San Antonio on Tuesday and Wednesday.
