The Los Angeles Lakers anxiously await Julius Randle to get back to playing basketball without any restrictions, and thus far his recovery process has gone brilliantly. Randle's been at the Lakers' training facility in El Segundo working out with his coaches "everyday" as he focuses on his fitness, he recently told Lakers sideline reporter Mike Trudell during an interview.
Randle has been cleared to play in three-on-three contact drills, inching closer to participating in five-man play again, but the No. 7 pick of the 2014 NBA Draft feels so good he'd be ready to line up right now.
