While Trevor Ariza is continuing to make progress towards a return, the Lakers still don’t have an exact timeline of when that may be. Prior to Thursday’s game against the Grizzlies, head coach Frank Vogel gave the latest update on the veteran forward, who participated in practice with the team in a scrimmage earlier in the week.
“Like I said, he had the practice the other day,” Vogel said. “He got into live action for the first time. We’re hoping to have him potentially practice with the [the South Bay Lakers] next week on a day where we may not be practicing, if that’s necessary for him to get more live work.
