Interim coach Kurt Rambis said Afflalo was suffering from a bruised thigh in Wednesday's 108-105 loss to the Pacers, but the shooting guard isn't expected to miss Friday's game against the Magic.

Analysis:

The injury ended up limiting Afflalo's court time in the second half, as the veteran finished with just 24 minutes, his lowest amount since Dec. 9. Lance Thomas (32 minutes) and Langston Galloway (29 minutes) ended up picking up some extra playing time as a result, but it's expected that Thursday's off day will be enough to allow Afflalo to return to his usual 30-plus minute role come Friday.
