Cam Reddish has been cleared to begin on-court progression

The injury bug has been one of several reasons the Los Angeles Lakers are just one game over .500 with the All-Star break only a week away. A number of key starters and rotation players have had to sit out multiple games due to various ailments.

Forward Cam Reddish was given a consistent spot in the Lakers’ starting lineup by head coach Darvin Ham back in early November. Although some fans have complained about him playing too many minutes, it’s clear Ham trusts him.

Reddish has missed the team’s last eight games while dealing with a sprained ankle. According to the team, he has been cleared to ramp up his activity, and he could return to game action not too long from now.

The Lakers are thin right now at the wing and forward spots. Jarred Vanderbilt is expected to miss at least three to four weeks with a foot injury, and Max Christie tweaked his ankle on Thursday against the Denver Nuggets.
