Clarkson suffered a patellar tendon strain in his left knee during the third quarter and won't return to Wednesday's contest against the Nuggets, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

It's unclear how serious Clarkson's injury might be, and a full update likely won't be known until Thursday. He finished with 13 points (4-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, and one steal over 23 minutes before his departure. The Lakers next play Friday against the Hawks, and he should be considered questionable at best for that game until we hear more.
