Perkins (chest) is out indefinitely with a right pectoral injury.

Analysis:

Perkins strained his right pectoral during Saturday's game against the Warriors and is now on tap to miss an undetermined amount of time. He had been starting in place of Omer Asik for the first three games of the season, averaging 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 0.7 assists. With Asik back healthy and Perkins sidelined for the foreseeable future, Alexis Ajinca will likely absorb the backup center minutes.
