Coach Rambis just wanted to rest him, they already know what he's capable of, he's got nothing more to prove in the Summer League...

Lakers' Mihm to get ankle surgery
Team center's operation is to remove scar tissue.
El SEGUNDO - Los Angeles Lakers center Chris Mihm will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle to remove scar tissue, it was announced today. The surgery will take place Wednesday and will be performed by Dr. Phillip Kwong, a foot specialist with the Kerlan Jobe Orthopaedic Group.
It is expected that Mihm will wear a protective boot for two to three weeks and will be able to play in four to six weeks. He is expected to fully recover by the start of training camp.
Mihm, who injured his right ankle in the closing seconds of the Lakers March 12 contest versus Seattle after tallying 20 points, 13 rebounds and three blocked shots, missed the next 17 games because of the severe sprain. Despite logging 14 minutes in the team's regular season finale April 19 versus New Orleans/Oklahoma City, Mihm was forced to sit out the Lakers entire First Round series against Phoenix because of the injury.
In 59 games (56 starts) last season, Mihm averaged a career-best 10.2 points on better than 50 percent (.501) shooting from the field while averaging 6.3 rebounds and 1.24 blocks in a career-high 26.1 minutes. In addition to missing games because of the ankle injury, he also sat out six games in February because of a sprained right shoulder. On the year, Mihm recorded seven double-doubles while leading the team in scoring once and in rebounding on 16 occasions.
In two seasons with the Lakers, Mihm is averaging 10.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.35 blocks.
Over his six-year NBA career, he has posted averages of 8.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.07 blocks in 395 games (251 starts)
