Lakers head coach Frank Vogel provided updates on the numerous members of his backcourt currently sidelined with injuries following practice on Monday.
The most encouraging update was Talen Horton-Tucker’s return to the court. The third-year guard was seen on the floor after practice without a brace on his surgically repaired left thumb, and Vogel said he’s making progress towards a return.
“Yeah he got his stitches out,” Vogel said. “(We) hope to have him start doing shooting tomorrow, but he’s still on track with the timetable.”
Horton-Tucker underwent surgery on Oct. 13 and was going to be re-evaluated in four weeks.
