The Lakers are trending in a positive direction on the court, and the injury news off of it is following suit. Trevor Ariza’s progress in his return from ankle surgery has been more documented than teammate Kendrick Nunn, who has spent nearly as many days on the injury report, but as of Monday, we have firmer timelines for both.
Ariza has returned to the court and his debut looks more imminent, while Nunn’s is more long-term. Neither has exact timelines for their insertion back into the lineup, but Shams Charania of The Athletic offered the first looks at potential return dates for both in his latest column:
The Lakers are hopeful forward Trevor Ariza (ankle surgery) will return within the next one-to-two weeks and are hopeful guard Kendrick Nunn (bone bruise, knee) will return in January, sources said.
