Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson missed the preseason opener against Utah because of minor discomfort in his lower legs.
Kurt Rambis took over the head-coaching duties in Jackson's absence. Jackson didn't make the trip in part to avoid the 90-minute bus ride to the game's site in Anaheim.
