Lakers' Julius Randle: May have suffered broken nose

Randle may have suffered a broken nose during Sunday's loss to the Rockets, Baxter Holmes of ESPN Los Angeles reports.

With Larry Nance (knee) unavailable for Sunday's game, Randle got his first start since Dec. 6, putting up 12 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and a block over 26 minutes. He did all of his damage in the first three quarters, as the Lakers largely relied on their reserves for the final quarter of the blowout loss. A broken nose wouldn't necessarily require that Randle miss any time, but head coach Byron Scott did say that Nance will still be the starter when both players are healthy. The Lakers don't have another game until Wednesday against the Kings.
