Austin Reaves nearing return with hamstring strain, Trevor Ariza ‘still a ways away’ with foot injury

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel provided injury updates on a pair of Lakers role players prior to Sunday’s game against the Pistons, one update positive and one update not so much.

Both Austin Reaves and Trevor Ariza were seen doing drills prior to a recent game but they still are on much different timelines, according to Vogel.

“Austin feels really good. If it was up to him, he’d be back already,” Vogel said. “He’s following the medical recommendation for how much time they want to wait for him. And Trevor’s still a ways away. Austin’s a lot closer.
