Lakers’ Gary Vitti monitor Julius Randle’s return with caution

Below is a Q&A with Lakers head athletic trainer Gary Vitti, who offered insight on Julius Randle’s season-ending leg injury, his recovery and how the Lakers handle his workload heading into training camp beginning on Sept. 29 in Hawaii. I detailed Randle’s efforts in those areas as well as his improved dietary habits in the print edition. But below is an expansive transcript of part one of my interview with Vitti earlier this summer at the Lakers’ practice facility in El Segundo.

How do you think Julius has handled the playing restrictions during Summer League?
