Straight from the horse's mouth. I'm assuming the earliest he'd be back is midway through the 1st round, maybe game 3/4. Would be rusty obviously but I'd have to think his hustle and energy could be really contagious.

It will be great having his energy out there, we should have a pretty good bench for the playoofs with Blake (if Nash is ok) Meeks (if he isn't starting) Goudelock, Clark (if he isn't starting) Jamison and Hill, I hope D'antoni can figure out a way to use more than 8 players.

Please be true. Is this really his account?



Having hill and Clark in at same time would be a killer athletic forward combo. Two different kinds of energy and mobility that no other playoff team has.

Dr. Robert Klapper ‏@DrRobertKlapper 1m
Depending on how late in first round and Jordan Hill conditioning to determine green light for play. He is FULL weightbearing now!!

If the Lakers can squeak by SA somehow giving Jordan two more weeks to get into shape the Lakers could be a rebounding force with Clark, Hill and Dwight out on the court together.
Sometimes being wrong is awesome!!! :D

I hope he can play as soon as possible. He'd help greatly in the efforts against the Spurs with his energy. Not to mention, more bench depth at a time when the Lakers really need it.
