Lakers' Paul Gasol has vertigo
Expected to miss Knicks game Tuesday
Los Angeles Lakers centre Pau Gasol has been diagnosed with vertigo.
Gasol isn't expected to play when the Lakers host the New York Knicks on Tuesday.
The 7-foot Spaniard missed the second half of Los Angeles' victory over Orlando after complaining of dizziness and nausea. He spent the night in a hospital, but the Lakers said an MRI of his head was normal.
Gasol will be re-examined Tuesday, but likely won't play against the Knicks.
Gasol's vertigo is the latest in a staggering list of injuries and ailments for the Lakers (23-46), who are on track for their worst season since moving to California.
Lakers guard Xavier Henry plans to keep playing with a torn ligament in his wrist. Steve Nash is questionable for Tuesday with his usual back problems.
