LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's Western Conference semifinals Game 5 against the Houston Rockets after an MRI and CT scan showed he has a bruised lower back.
Odom left Sunday's 99-87 loss with back spasms in the third quarter. He was hurt when he drove into the lane and collided with Shane Battier, landing hard on the court.

He remained face down, writhing in pain, for about a minute before slowly rising to his knees, then got up and made his way down the court. He was called for a charging foul and then was given a technical after jawing with an official over the call.
He had two points and six rebounds in about 25 minutes.
