Reserve forward Jordan Hill, who developed into a reliable frontcourt player over the last week of the season and played a pivotal role in the playoffs, is unsure what his future holds. The Lakers have a $3.6 million team option on Hill for next season and he would seem a likely candidate to return. And he seems hopeful of one. "Yeah, I mean it's one of, if not the best organizations in the league and I had a great time in the short time I was here," Hill said. Los Angeles Daily News

Hill will be a free agent after the season, though it seems increasingly probable the Lakers will try to bring him back even though he faces a third-degree felony assault charge in Houston for allegedly choking a former girlfriend in February. "Being a free agent, anything can happen," Hill said. "I'm just trying not to focus on that right now. I'm just trying to focus on this ring. It will definitely feel great to have a ring on my finger and after the season, we'll go from there." Los Angeles Times

Lakers power forward Jordan Hill said Tuesday night he was "shocked" to learn he had been charged Monday morning with a felony assault stemming from a Feb. 29 incident with a girlfriend while he was a member of the Houston Rockets. Hill wasn't sure whether he'd have to appear in court in Houston. "Right now, I'm just letting my agent and attorney take care of it and we'll see what's going on," the 24-year-old Hill said before the Lakers faced the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series at Staples Center. "I don't know anything. I just got a phone call and I was definitely shocked, just like everybody else was. Just gotta deal with it." Los Angeles Daily News

The Lakers are no strangers to playoff uncertainties, and another has appeared in their domain. Reserve power forward Jordan Hill, 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. Los Angeles Times
