Belinelli (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Analysis:

Belinelli's missed time will extend over a week after leaving last Friday's game with a right groin strain. His next chance to return to the court will come against the Kings in Sacramento on Saturday, though the fact that he's already ruled out for Friday doesn't make it seem as though he is nearing a return.
