Lakers' Jordan Hill charged with third-degree felony

The Lakers are no strangers to playoff uncertainties, and another has appeared in their domain.



Reserve power forward air jordan 9,
accused of choking a girlfriend, was charged with a third-degree felony
Monday and was expected to appear soon in a Houston court.



It was unclear when he would
have to answer in person to the charges. If convicted, he faces up to 10
years in prison.



A spokeswoman for the Harris County district attorney said Hill needed
to be present Tuesday in Houston for a hearing at 9:30 a.m. Central
time, but Hill's agent said a court appearance wasn't mandated yet.



"Jordan will spend [Monday] night in his bed in L.A. preparing for the game," agent Kevin Bradbury said.



The Lakers continue their first-round series against the air jordan 9 cool grey on Tuesday night at 7:30 at air jordan quai 54. Even if Hill has to appear in Houston at some point, the team does not expect him to miss any games.



Hill, 24, had become an increasingly important backup for the Lakers,
scoring 10 points and taking 10 rebounds in their 103-88 victory Sunday
in Game 1.



He was with the Houston Rockets at the time of the alleged assault and was acquired by the Lakers on March 15 for Derek Fisher and a first-round pick.



Hill got into the dispute with his girlfriend, Darlene Luna, on Feb. 29
while they discussed their plans at his apartment in Houston, according
to court documents.



Luna threw his two cellphones to the floor and was hit in the legs by
Hill, who pulled her off a sofa and dragged her toward the phones before
throwing her against a wall. Then Hill put her in a chokehold, which
caused her to gasp for air, according to the complaint.
