Chris Kaman (calf) will miss his second consecutive game Friday against the Mavericks, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Kaman (calf) will miss his second consecutive game Friday against the Mavericks, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Analysis:

Sidelined with a strained calf, Kaman's absence will once again test Los Angeles' frontcourt depth, as Pau Gasol (vertigo) is also out of the lineup. In Wednesday's loss to Sacramento, Jordan Hill started at center, and Robert Sacre saw increased time (19 minutes) off the bench. Consider Kaman day-to-day and questionable to play Sunday versus the Clippers.
