Boozer will be held out Friday against Toronto, Mark Media of the LA Daily News reports.

Analysis:

Boozer has been held out of the last two contests, but coach Byron Scott said that both Boozer and Jordan Hill, who is also being rested, could be back Sunday against Brooklyn or Monday against Philadelphia. The goal in resting both players has been to free up minutes for the likes of Tarik Black, Ryan Kelly and Ed Davis. Coincidentally, the Lakers lose their first round pick if it falls outside of the top five.
