Los Angeles Lakers center Christian Koloko has been medically cleared to play by the NBA's fitness-to-play panel, sources told ESPN.
Koloko will begin practicing with the Lakers and ramp up to play for first time since a blood clot issue threatened his career last year.
Koloko's agent, Calvin Andrews of Klutch Sports, confirmed to ESPN that the center will begin full basketball activities this week.
Koloko's medical clearance is promising news for the Lakers' development program, which adds the 7-footer to recent successes in Austin Reaves and Dalton Knecht.
