Henry (knee) missed Tuesday's practice due to back spasms, the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Henry is in the final stages of his recovery from right knee surgery performed in April, but a new ailment is now holding him on the sideline. The wing rotation is fairly cluttered with Kobe Bryant, Wesley Johnson, and Nick Young taking on the bulk of the minutes, which doesn't bode well for the perpetually-injured Henry.
