The Lakers ruled out Larry Nance Jr. for Friday’s game against the Indiana Pacers, but he is nearing his return to playing.
Nance went through a full practice Thursday at the Toyota Sports Center and impressed Lakers Coach Luke Walton.
“Yesterday they left out the last thing, more physical drills,” Nance said Thursday. “Today I went through those. It’s just been a progression and today was the next step of that progression so I went through the whole thing today. … That’s definitely a medical call. It’s their job to clear me.
