Lakers guard Sasha Vujacic will be shut down from basketball activities for 10-to-14 days due to a small avulsion fracture in his ankle.

The fracture is thought to have been aggravated when Vujacic sprained his ankle, though he said he felt no pain in his ankle whatsoever before the sprain. Vujacic also suggested that he will give his ankle a shot in seven, not 10 days, but L.A.’s training staff will surely make that call.

“I’ve played with (a hurt ankle) before so it’s nothing new,” said Vujacic. “Right now it’s just a little bit frustrating … I’ll come back as soon as I can.”

The Slovenian guard went on to say that he’d like to play in one or two preseason games, but L.A.’s final games come against Charlotte and Oklahoma City on the 23rd and 24th, the first just nine days away.

L.A.’s season opener against Portland is set for Tuesday, Oct. 28, 14 days from today.

Couple days. There's just no reason to risk it for pre-season.

EL SEGUNDO - Lakers spokesman John Black announced Tuesday afternoon that guard Sasha Vujacic has an vulsion fracture of the left ankle and will cease most basketball-related activities for the next 10-14 days.

Vujacic saw a foot specialist Monday afternoon, who confirmed the findings of a specialist that Vujacic was examined by last week.

“No words can explain this,” Vujacic said, when asked his reaction.

The injury is said to be a pre-existing problem and not related to the sprained left ankle that has sidelined Vujacic for the majority of training camp. However, the sprain that Vujacic suffered exacerbated the avulsion fracture.

“I just have to rest but I don’t have time to rest,” said Vujacic, who vowed to return within a week. “I want to do everything possible to get back. I want to (play) one or two pre-season games.”

Vujacic said he hopes to keep up with his conditioning. He will limit his court activity to stationary shooting.

“I heal fast,” he said.
