Lakers.com-The Los Angeles Lakers have re-assigned guard Coby Karl to the Los Angeles D-Fenders of the NBA Development League, it was announced today by General Manager Mitch Kupchak.

Karl, who became the 11th NBA player assigned to a D-League affiliate earlier this season on November 28, was re-assigned to the D-Fenders February 14.

During his first assignment, Karl played in 10 games with the D-Fenders from November 29 – December 22, averaging 18.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 38.4 minutes while shooting .435 from three-point range and .492 from the field.

In 13 total games with the D-Fenders this season, Karl is averaging 17.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 38.1 minutes.

LA Times-Kupchak…said the team would like to re-sign restricted free agents Sasha Vujacic and Ronny Turiaf, although he hedged somewhat when asked if Lamar Odom would receive a contract extension this summer. Odom, 28, has one more season and $14.1 million left on his contract.

“We want to see how we perform in the playoffs, what the market is like this summer, and most important, how successful our team will be in the playoffs.”

Lakers.com-When deflated the Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill looks like any normal treadmill you’d see at your local gym–wrapped in a hefty bag.

Once the machine is turned on the user looks like they’re standing up through the sunroof of a car.

The Alter-G treadmill creates a seal around the user’s waist and then inflates to create a pressurized environment that can take away up to 80% of the users body weight, lessening the pounding to the joints.

Chip Schaefer Lakers Director of Athletic Performance and Player Development utilizes this machine to help the likes of Andrew Bynum and Chris Mihm rehab from their basketball leg injuries.

Here’s the Lakers.com Video about it with Chip Schaefer and Chris Mihm:
