Lakers rookie has fans terrified he’ll never be healthy after latest update

Los Angeles Lakers fans found out on Monday at media day that rookie forward Adou Thiero out of the University of Arkansas is still not yet cleared to play. According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, Thiero is "in line with the team's recovery timeline" and still has one week of rehab work left before he'll ultimately be cleared to return to the court.

For those who maybe hadn't been keeping up with Thiero and his injury timeline, Adou is dealing with a left knee injury that he suffered while playing in college. The 21-year-old forward missed the Las Vegas Summer League and Lakers fans haven't been able to see very much of him thus far.
