Xavier Henry, who has been sidelined two-plus weeks with a knee injury, will be out at least another seven days, according to Lakers team spokesman John Black.
Xavier Henry (knee strain) is out at least 1 more week, at which point he'll be re-evaluated. That puts him out at least 4 more games.

Henry originally hurt his knee in the first quarter against Philly on Dec. 29. He was later diagnosed with a bone bruise and an abnormality of the lateral meniscus.
The Kansas product recently went through his first extensive on-court workout on Sunday. Henry, however, experienced soreness in the area and was ruled out of Tuesday’s game vs. Cleveland. He will continue to do non-weight bearing exercises, but will not ramp up his workouts.
The Lakers embark on their annual Grammy road trip after the Cavs game, which covers seven games in 12 days. Henry will miss at Phoenix, at Boston, at Toronto and at Chicago. He will then be re-evaluated, at which point another prognosis will be assessed.
