Bogut, who has yet to begin practicing with the Lakers due to visa issues, will
be excused from the team’s next two practice sessions, so there’s a decent
chance he’s ultimately held out of Saturday’s preseason contest. Official word
may not come until Saturday morning, but the visa issues shouldn’t last much
longer than this weekend. Either way, Bogut’s injury history will likely limit
him to a fairly small workload throughout the preseason anyway.
