Lakers' Byron Scott curious to see Marcelo Huertas' impact in a game

Coach Byron Scott has gotten a look at 18 of 19 Lakers in preseason action.

That leaves international veteran (and NBA rookie) Marcelo Huertas, who has been sidelined because of a hamstring strain.

"In the scrimmages that we had, he was very good," Scott said after practice Saturday. "He's a true point guard that looks to pass that ball. I'm very curious to see how he plays in a real, live basketball game."

Huertas said he doesn't expect to be held out much longer.

"It's better. It's not 100% still, but there's a chance I'll play tomorrow," he said of his injury.
