In the curious case of Steve Blake, his long-term abdominal injury just took another twist that makes his return uncertain.

Lakers doctor Dr. Steve Lombardo said Blake has “symptomatically improved” from a lower abdominal strain that required surgery six weeks ago. But Lombardo described Blake as in a “holding pattern” after having what he called “slight discomfort” in the groin area shortly before the surgery.
