Asik (ankle) is expected to miss up to two weeks with a sprained right ankle, John Reid of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Asik sprained the ankle during Sunday's win over the Pistons, and he underwent further tests, including an MRI, on Monday. The big man appears to have avoided anything more severe than a sprain, but he's still set to miss a handful of games. Assuming he were to sit out two full weeks, Asik would miss six contests, including matchups with the Thunder, Rockets and Spurs. Coach Alvin Gentry said Tuesday that Alexis Ajinca will start at center in Asik's absence, while Kendrick Perkins will pick up a few extra minutes as a reserve.
