Lakers' Marcus Smart: Remaining out vs. Philadelphia

Smart (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Smart will miss his sixth consecutive contest due to a left lumbar muscle strain, and he can be considered highly questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs. With the veteran guard sidelined, Gabe Vincent, Nick Smith and Dalton Knecht are candidates for increased playing time.
