Lonzo Ball is back at the UCLA Health Training Center in El Segundo and working his way back to full strength ahead of his third season with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Ball’s teammate, Josh Hart, also stopped by the practice facility on Monday and caught Ball working out to his own music:
As far as we know, Ball still hasn’t been cleared to resume full contact basketball activities just yet, but it looks like he’s been able to put additional weight on his ankle over the past few weeks. Meanwhile, Hart has been in the gym trying to recover from an injury of his own.
On March 28, it was announced that Hart would undergo season-ending surgery on his right knee and that he would be expected to return to basketball activities in 12 weeks. This week will mark five weeks.
While there were a number of factors that contributed to the Lakers’ underwhelming season, injuries played a big role, so getting healthy should be priority No. 1 for the entire roster this summer. Thankfully, it looks like Ball and Hart are on the road to recovery.
