Walton, Fisher Sustain Injuries At Lakers Camp
Luke Walton and Derek Fisher sustained minor injuries Friday during the Los Angeles Lakers ' training camp.
Walton strained his right hamstring and is listed as day-to-day. Fisher received a deep one-inch gash to the forehead when he took an elbow from center Larry Turner.
Walton sat out the remainder of the workout, while Fisher did not require stitches and returned. Kobe Bryant didn't participate in the final minutes of practice as he iced his left knee.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson said injuries during camp are inevitable.
"They're going to happen," he said. "Guys are getting in shape and in the process they've got tight muscles and things get stretched, pulled, etc.

Turiaf, Not Walton, May Start Lakers' Season Opener
At the end of a routine day, Lakers coach Phil Jackson caused a minor stir by saying he was considering starting forward Ronny Turiaf ahead of Luke Walton when the season begins Oct. 30.
It had nothing to do with Walton's strained right hamstring, which prevented him from practicing Friday. It had everything to do with Jackson's desire to add Turiaf's energy to the starting five.
"We'll see how it goes," Jackson said. "It's still a long time away from tip time, but I know we have to have starters coming off the bench to be a good team."
