Lakers' Ariza cleared to return soon

Forward should be available during the second round.

DENVER -- It took a while, more than three months, but Trevor Ariza finally heard the magic medical words.

The Lakers' forward was cleared to begin some basketball-related activities and will be available to play at some point in the second round of the playoffs.

 

"A week from now, I can start doing a little bit of contact. And then a week later I can start playing," he said. "It's definitely good news."

A key defender at small forward, Ariza has been out since Jan. 20 because of a broken bone in his right foot. He is not allowed to dunk yet and can work only on individual skills such as shooting and dribbling over the next week.

An MRI exam Friday showed that the bone in his foot had healed to the point of being able to begin basketball exercises.

Ariza was a fixture on the Lakers' second unit after being acquired from Orlando in November for Brian Cook and Maurice Evans. He was averaging 6.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 18 minutes in 24 games with the Lakers, who like his length and speed as a defender.

Ariza was on the Lakers' bench, in a suit, for Game 3 on Saturday against Denver.

The medical charts haven't been favorable for the Lakers throughout the season.

Andrew Bynum has not played since Jan. 13 and has been given only a remote chance of returning from a knee injury during the playoffs. He has missed 49 games.

Vladimir Radmanovic missed 17 games during the regular season, Pau Gasol missed 10 and Chris Mihm missed 43 games because of injuries.

Ronny Turiaf played four minutes in the fourth quarter of Game 3 after missing Game 2 because of tonsillitis. Turiaf, who lost 11 pounds last week, missed two shots, had three rebounds, and returned to his unofficial side job as team cheerleader.

"He can almost talk in a regular voice now. It's starting to come back," Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said.

Coby Karl was moved to the inactive list for Game 3 to make room for Turiaf.

There aren't many faults to be found on the Lakers these days, but Radmanovic continued a quiet series in which he has averaged seven points in three games.

The Lakers tried to give him some extra shooting at practice between Games 2 and 3, but he had only five points on two-for-nine shooting Saturday.

"We really worked with him trying to build his confidence back up, about how important he is to that unit to be able to extend the court, hit three-pointers, make teams pay when they get in a zone, those type of things," Jackson said. "He'll get it back.

"He's one of those kind of guys that misses a game or so and you wonder where he's gone and then he comes back and helps us out a lot."

 

 

아리자왈: 1주후부터 난 이제 컨텍트가 있는 연습을 풀로 할수있고, 2주뒤엔 드디어 경기에  나갈수있지...

 

정말 좋은 뉴스야.

 

금요일날 있었던 테스테에서 아리자의 부러진 뼈가 고쳐졌다는 리포트후에 아리자의 aftercomment 가있었네요.

 

드디어 돌아온다는 생각에 너무나 기쁘고, 2라운드부터 컨디션 조절해서 타팀 에이스들을 막을수있는

 

선수가 다시 합류된다는 생각에 너무 기쁩니다. ^^

 

LIGHTS OUT!

[제이윌써커스]

그냥 코트에 바이넘과 저녀석 모두 서있을때 돌아왔군 하고 생각하렵니다,여러가지 소식 감사합니다, OUT ?

[Mr.81-Kobe]

얼렁 오지 못할까 ㅠㅠ

[[LAL]likeKB]

그저 우왕ㅋ굳ㅋ 레이커스의 진정한힘? 무튼 뭔가 어여 꽉꽉 채워지길 바랍니다 ㅠㅠㅠ

[[LAL]효우키]

저도 아리자가 돌아와서 기쁩니다 ㅋ;ㅎㅎ

[Kobe to Gasol]

솔직히 아리자가 100%로 돌아와서 저희와 붙을 가능성이 가장높은 유타의 득점원들 중에 한사람만 잘막아도 저희가 이길가능성이 더욱 올라갈거라고 생각돼요. 음.. 누굴막게될까요? AK47? 어쨋든 전력보강이 된다는건 확실한사실!

[david kim]

흠... 서브로 나와서 중요할때 데롱이를 막을수도.. ㅎㅎ 하지만 유타한테는 아리자의 활용성보다 스퍼스전을 준비한 (물론 스퍼스가 못올라올수도 있지만) 컨디셔닝 시리즈 라고도 할수있죠. 물론 레이커스가 유타한테 질수도 있지만 긍정적이게 ㅎㅎ. 지노블리를 막을 선수로 아리자가 딱입니다 진짜

[Kobe to Gasol]

아! 아리자 수비가 정말 대단하군요! 시즌중에 덴버랑할때 아이버슨이랑 메치업 된적도 있지않앗나요? ㄷㄷ 근데 제생각에는 지노빌리는 아마 코비가 막으실거같군여.. 그리고 그렇게 돼야 더 재미잇을거같구요 ㅎㅎ

[No.3 Ariza]

코비가 막고 파커를 아리자가 막을거같은데,....

[RocK&JERICHO]

거참 신기하네요.. ^^;; 아리자는 별로 보여준것도 없는데 이 엄청난 기대치란..ㅎ

[Black]

저도 그렇게 느끼고 있네요,,기대치가 점점 높아져서 팸에선 아리자가 올해의 수비수상에 근접한 수비수가 되어있는 느낌

[What!?]

방문)수비에서 많은 가능성을 보여줬습니다. 운동능력도 좋고... 솔직히 기대치가 좀 쎄지만..

[[LAL]The KB]

만약!!에 올라가서 샌안이랑 붙는다면 코비는 TP막아야 하지 않나요 요즘 TP도 후덜덜이라서;;;아리자가 유로스텝막아야 될테고요 ㅎ

[[LAL]코비만세]

수비보다 돌아오면 시원한 덩크좀 팍팍 찍어줘~
