Here’s the Los Angeles Daily News blog with an update on injured Lakers rookie Julius Randle:
It appeared like a normal exercise as Lakers rookie forward Julius Randle performed a leg press during Wednesday’s practice. But in Randle’s case, it marked one of many progressions he has made since suffering a season-ending injury to his right leg in the Lakers’ season opener just under two months ago.
Since then, Randle has healed enough to get around without any crutches in the past week.
“Honestly I’m not supposed to be off crutches,” Randle said, with a chuckle. “The doctor said to go at your own pace. My pace was to get rid of them immediately.”
Randle still has a long way to go.
