32-year old point guard Steve Blake is going to miss 6-8 more weeks as he needs surgery to repair a torn abdominal muscle.  Blake has played in 7 games (5 starts) for the Lakers so far this year and he is averaging 26.0 minutes, 5.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game.  This is a big blow to the Lakers as they were hoping to get Steve Blake and Steve Nash back at around the same time, giving them a huge boost at point guard.
