Jared Dudley: (Back) Out Thursday

Dudley (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Lakers, the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Dudley has only been logging about 15 minutes per game recently, and his minutes should easily be split up between some combination of Matt Barnes, Danny Granger, Hedo Turkoglu, Willie Green and Darren Collison. Given that he's only dealing with back spasms, Dudley may have a chance to return for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
