HOOPSWORLD has learned that Trevor Ariza of the Los Angeles Lakers was given partial clearance to the floor from his broken foot. A source close to the situation says a CT Scan on Friday showed enough improvement that Ariza has been green lit to participate in basketball drills and non-contact practices.
A follow-up scan in two weeks will determine if Ariza is ready for a full return
obviously not what we were hoping for, but it's not terrible news. Him being partially cleared means that he might be ready to play as soon as he gets cleared, instead of having to get in shape for a week or two. Doubt that he plays next round either, assuming we make it that far.
