OAKLAND, Calif. -- Lakers point guard DAngelo Russell will be out for at least two more weeks after getting a platelet-rich plasma injection in his sore left knee Wednesday.Russell has missed two of the Lakers last three games with soreness in his knee, but the second-year point guard had thought it wasnt a serious injury. He will be re-evaluated next week before the Lakers decide how long he will sit.Russell only missed two games last season as a rookie. He is second on the revitalized Lakers with 16.1 points per game, and he leads the team with 4.8 assists.Disappointing because well definitely miss that but more as we continue to try to build something and now hes not out there being part of that, hes not learning and building the trust that youre trying to get when players are together for a long time, first-year coach Luke Walton said before his team faced the familiar Golden State Warriors. He misses a couple weeks of that, but yeah well definitely miss what hes been doing for us so far this year.Walton said he is unsure how long Russell has been in pain, but it did get worse. Russells injury caught the coach off guard because he was limping at practice and not running well, so he was taken out.Walton said he likes to keep it pretty positive, and isnt yet concerned about Russell potentially needing surgery.They tell me they think this is going to help get him to get him back out there, then Im going with the belief that in two weeks hell be ready to play again, Walton said.Jose Calderon moved into the starting lineup against the Warriors in Waltons return to Oracle Arena to face the team he helped coach to a runner-up finish in the NBA Finals last season. Calderon also started the two previous games Russell missed. The veteran Spanish guard scored a season-high 12 points in the Lakers 111-109 victory over Oklahoma City on Tuesday night.In addition, forward Julius Randle was out with a hip pointer. He tried to play through it Tuesday.Obviously he didnt look like the same that hes been the last couple games before that, Walton said. Pretty painful every time he cuts or tries to make a basketball move, so were going to sit him out tonight and try to get him back soon, too.---AP Sports Writer Greg Beacham in Los Angeles contributed to this report.
