Brandon Roy is missing the second half of the Portland Trail Blazers' game against the Lakers with a sore right knee.

Roy is the Blazers' leading scorer with 21.8 points per game. He played 11 minutes in the first half against Los Angeles on Sunday before the Blazers ruled him out for the rest of the game.

Roy struggled with a sore back in recent days, missing practice to rest up for the playoffs. Portland has clinched a postseason berth and could end up in a rematch with the Lakers, who have clinched the top seed in the Western Conference.
