TheLakersNation.com will be holding a live Q&A session with Lakers play-by-play announcer, Spero Dedes on Wednesday, October 8th at 11:00am PST.
We’ll give you all a chance to ask away any questions you have for Spero, as he will do his best to answer them.
Dedes is the radio voice of the Los Angeles Lakers, as well as a play-by-play announcer and host for the NFL Network. Previously, he was the host of NBA TV’s Hardwood Classics and The Insiders.
Don’t worry too much! Its not THAT bad.
OC Register: Sasha Vujacic sprained his left ankle during the Tuesday night scrimmage. It was diagnosed as a moderate sprain, but Vujacic suggested he could be back in action in a few days.
Vujacic ran into DJ Mbenga during a baseline drive when Mbenga tried to take a charge. Vujacic said it’s an area on the outside of his ankle that is causing sharp pain.
“I was going to the basket,” Vujacic said. “Hard to believe, but I was going to the basket.”
Vujacic noted that he should be able to do more of that now that he’s “210″ — and to be completely honest with you, I initially thought he said he was “too tan.”
It’s no coincidence that a moment later when Lamar Odom was joking with Vujacic about getting hurt, Vujacic asked Odom to tell reporters how Vujacic got hurt.
“Tanning?” Odom deadpanned.

We wish Sun Yue a speedy recovery. Mononucleosis is an infectious disease ; characterized by fever, and swelling of lymph nodes. He will miss the start of training camp.
LA Times: Rookie guard Sun Yue has tested positive for mononucleosis, delaying the start of his Lakers career for an indefinite period.
He appeared to be in good spirits while meeting with local media members Wednesday afternoon, but was taken to a Los Angeles-area hospital a few hours later. He will not be ready for the start of training camp next Tuesday. There is no date for his return.
Here’s a new addition to TLN where we’ll highlight some of the things that are going on, in or around our Lakers and NBA world.
- Kobe Bryant is apparently part of a celebrity ‘Emmy’ phone chain. Others in the chain include William Shatner, Rachel Ray, Regis, Martin Short and The Hoff.
- The Boston Celtics met with President Bush for the annual ‘champions visit to the White House’. I know what you’re thinking, “that should have been us.” Well, I guess we’ll just have to settle for a meeting with John McCain or Barack Obama in ‘09.
- Salim Stoudamire is now a Spur. Dare we counter this move by signing yet another guard?
- Well, apparently the Pistons are “excited” about Kwame Brown’s potential. Before we go on to mock them, please remember that most of us were as well, years ago. Many of us are actually excited about Lamar’s potential, nevermind that he’s been in the league for a decade.
- Andrew Bynum’s offical website got a makeover.
- PJ Brown has retired from the NBA. I’ll hold back from calling him a ring chaser — it would only make me should like a bitter Lakers fan… which I am.
- Chris Bosh and Baron Davis will face off in a ‘funny skit’ challenge. Knowing the skits both Bosh and Davis have done in the past, this should be good.
That’s all I have for you guys today. If you have anything intresting tidbits to send over, feel free to e-mail it to me.
