Jodie Meeks (ankle) will not play against the Spurs on Sunday.

He has a partial ligament tear in his ankle and he never really had much of a shot to play. The Lakers have been using D-League MVP Andrew Goudelock at shooting guard and there's a good chance their turbulent season comes to an end on Sunday.

An MRI on Jodie Meeks' ankle revealed a partial ligament tear, a source told the Los Angeles Daily News.

To put it bluntly, Meeks' season could be over. Already listed as doubtful for Friday's Game 3, it's hard to imagine how he plays again in the first round, but he'll continue to undergo treatment and take anti-inflammaroties in order to keep his hopes of playing again alive. Darius Morris and Andrew Goudelock, the expected starting backcourt for Game 3, will play a ton for the Lakers.

Jodie Meeks - G - Lakers

Jodie Meeks (sprained ankle) is doubtful to play in Game 3 on Friday.

Meeks is having an MRI on Thursday, the results of which should be known soon, but L.A. is preparing as though he won't be available. With Kobe Bryant and Steve Blake (hamstring) already sidelined, and Steve Nash (hamstring) also doubtful, the Lakers backcourt is running on fumes.

Jodie Meeks (ankle) will have an MRI on Thursday.

Originally, Meeks was set to have his MRI on Friday, but the Lakers pushed it up a day after he was forced to sit during Wednesday's Game 2 loss to the Spurs. Depending on the results of the MRI, it could be yet another injury to the Lakers, and the team really can't afford anyone else to go down in the backcourt. The team is already missing Kobe Bryant (Achilles) and could be without both Steve Blake and Steve Nash due to hamstring injuries as well.

Jodie Meeks has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Spurs with a sprained left ankle and will have an MRI on Thursday.

He tested it before the game but wasn't moving well at all. Steve Blake will start, while Andrew Goudelock and Darius Morris will see extra minutes off the bench tonight, while Meeks will once again be questionable for Friday's Game 3.

Jodie Meeks is a game-time decision due to his sprained left ankle.

While it sounded like he was a lock to play earlier in the day, the Lakers will wait and see how he looks in pre-game workouts before clearing him to go. In short, if he's not moving close to 100 percent, he might be held out for precautionary reasons.

Jodie Meeks - G - Lakers

Jodie Meeks (ankle) went through shootaround on Wednesday and is expected to play in Game 2 vs. the Spurs.

Despite Meeks not practicing on either Monday or Tuesday, the expectation was always that he would play in this one. Since the swelling in his ankle has reduced, he'll likely to come off the bench again with Steve Nash and Steve Blake starting in the backcourt.

Jodie Meeks (ankle) sat out practice again Tuesday but is expected to play in Wednesday's Game 2.

Meek sustained a mild sprain in the first half of the the Game 1 loss to the Spurs. He ended up playing 19 minutes and scoring just four points. Meeks shouldn't be counted on as anything more than a mediocre spot-up 3-point specialist.

Jodie Meeks (ankle) didn't practice Monday but is expected to be available for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Spurs.

Meeks spent Monday's practice session getting treatment, but it would be surprise if he wasn't in uniform Wednesday night. Meeks said after the game Sunday that the ankle was stiff and sore but he doesn't expect to miss games.

Jodie Meeks says his left ankle is sore and stiff after spraining it on Sunday, but that he should be ready to play in Wednesday's Game 2 against the Spurs.

"It's stiff, it's sore, but I should be good," he said. He'll rest and receive treatment on Monday and Tuesday, and we'd be surprised if he's not ready for Wednesday's Game 2.

Jodie Meeks suffered a sprained left ankle in the first half of Sunday's game against the Spurs and went to the locker room.

He did return after getting it re-taped. Meeks played 31.2 minutes per game in his previous 10 contests, but that number should come down with Steve Nash back in the lineup.

Jodie Meeks - G - Lakers

Jodie Meeks played 36 minutes as the Lakers' starting SG on Sunday, but he scored only eight points with two 3-pointers, four rebounds and four assists.

It wasn't a total loss for anyone who plugged Meeks into their lineups, but we certainly hoped for more with Kobe out and unlimited minutes available. His numbers in eight starts this season don't inspire much confidence for L.A.'s final regular season games -- 7.5 points, 1.3 threes, 3.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals.

Jodie Meeks will start in place of Kobe Bryant on Sunday.

Meeks has been horrible lately, shooting 32.4 percent from the field in his six April games. He should get about 30 minutes per game, but Steve Blake will also get his fair share of the action at shooting guard.

Jodie Meeks hit just 1-of-5 shots for two points, five rebounds, three assists and a steal in Friday's win over the Grizzlies.

Meeks logged 26 minutes and this is what it looks like when he struggles. Unless you need 3-pointers, you can probably do better.
