Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel gave a promising update on the ongoing rehabilitation of veteran Trevor Ariza.
Trevor Ariza attended the non-contact portion of the training today, which is the bulk of the of training, said Vogel.
The 36-year-old Ariza has not played a game for the Lakers this season after injuring his ankle at the team’s training camp. He had surgery for the problem in early October and should be re-examined after eight weeks.
Ariza, who will begin his second term with the Lakers, has a career average of 10.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.1 Assists and 1.5 steals per game. That first run with the Lakers began in November 2007 when it was acquired by Orlando Magic.
After the 2008-09 season, Ariza signed as a free agent with the Houston Rockets and has a well-traveled career in the NBA, in which he played for a total of 10 teams.
Ariza’s veteran status and previous effectiveness were the reasons why the Lakers signed him as a free agent in August.
At the time of his signing, the Lakers formed the trio of LeBron James , Anthony Davis and the newly acquired Russell Westbrook.
The Lakers got off to a bumpy start, however, and have set a 12-11 record so far this season. Injuries beyond Ariza’s problem were one of the reasons for the early fighting.
Exactly when Ariza will return is uncertain, although the Lakers hope he will return as soon as possible given the hot starts of the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns. The Lakers will host the Clippers on Friday night, followed by another home game against the Boston Celtics on December 7.
