EL SEGUNDO — That didn’t last long.

The Lakers had their entire 15-man roster healthy for all of two games. Now they’re down again after power forward Ronny Turiaf suffered a moderate sprain of his left ankle in practice Thursday.

Turiaf isn’t expected to play Friday against Detroit, and Lakers coach Phil Jackson said Turiaf’s absence “could span a little spell.” Vladimir Radmanovic, Luke Walton and Chris Mihm are the main options to pick up minutes as a result.

“The good thing is we got on it right away and there’s not a great deal of swelling on it right now,” Jackson said after practice.
