Lakers' Adou Thiero: Returning to action Tuesday
Thiero (knee) is available to play Tuesday against the Spurs, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Thiero, who hasn't played since Dec. 30 due to a right MCL sprain, has been cleared to return to action after practicing in the G League on Sunday. The Lakers are holding out several key players Tuesday with minor injuries, so Thiero could be a factor in the rotation.

The Lakers recalled Thiero (knee) from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Monday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.
Thiero, who hasn't played since Dec. 30 due to a right MCL sprain, practiced with the G League team Sunday and appears to be on the cusp of a return. The rookie won't play Monday against the Thunder, but he may have a chance at playing in the second leg of a back-to-back set Tuesday versus the Spurts. Thiero has appeared in 15 games this season, averaging 1.3 points and 1.2 rebounds in 5.8 minutes per contest.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Practices in G League
The Lakers assigned Thiero (knee) to the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
According to McMenamin, Thiero took part in a full-contact practice with South Bay on Sunday, marking the rookie's first such session since he was diagnosed with a right knee MCL sprain in late December. Thiero will remain out for the Lakers' game Monday versus the Thunder and appears likely to sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set Tuesday versus the Spurs, but if he continues to practice in the G League in the coming days, he could be a candidate to play in South Bay's next game Wednesday versus the San Diego Clippers. After that, the NBA club will conclude its pre-All-Star-break schedule with a matchup Thursday versus the Mavericks.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Won't play Saturday
Thiero (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Thiero hasn't played since Dec. 30 due to an MCL sprain in his right knee and is without a timetable for a return. However, he's expected to be re-evaluated soon. Until the Lakers offer an update on his progress, the rookie second-rounder should be considered doubtful for future contests.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Out indefinitely with MCL sprain
The Lakers announced Wednesday that Thiero has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Before being selected with the No. 36 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft in June, Thiero was sidelined to close out his final collegiate season at Arkansas while recovering from left knee surgery. He's now dealing with an injury to his other knee, and though surgery doesn't appear to be on the docket for Thiero, he'll likely be sidelined throughout January. The rookie has made 15 appearances for the Lakers this season, averaging 1.3 points and 1.2 rebounds in 5.8 minutes per contest.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Assigned to G League
Los Angeles assigned Thiero to the G League's South Bay Lakers on Monday.
Thiero has been limited to nine NBA appearances thus far with an average of 5.8 minutes per contest, so this move makes sense for the rookie.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Makes NBA debut
Thiero (knee) finished with four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in five minutes off the bench in Saturday's 119-95 win over the Bucks.
Making his NBA debut after completing his recovery from the left knee surgery he required before being drafted in June, Thiero played two abbreviated shifts. After taking the court for the final 1:48 of the first quarter, the rookie remained on the bench for the second and third quarters before re-entering for the final 2:53 of the blowout win. The Lakers are likely to get at least one of Rui Hachimura (calf), Marcus Smart (illness) and LeBron James (sciatica) back for their next game Tuesday versus the Jazz, so Thiero is unlikely to get any run off the bench outside of a garbage-time scenario.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Upgraded to available
Thiero (knee) has been upgraded to available for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Thiero will be able to make his NBA debut Friday, though it remains to be seen if he'll be part of the rotation. The uncertainty regarding his role means the rookie out of Arkansas shouldn't have a lot of fantasy value in the early stages of his NBA career.

Thiero (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Gets questionable tag
Thiero (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
It's the first time all season that Thiero has drawn a questionable tag amid his recovery from left knee surgery. The rookie second-rounder is likely to face restrictions to his playing time upon his season debut, which could come as early as Friday. Thiero's eventual presence could eat into the minutes of Dalton Knecht off the Lakers' bench.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Returns from G League
The Lakers recalled Thiero (knee) from their G League's South Bay Lakers on Saturday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Thiero was sent to South Bay as part of his rehab process for a lingering knee injury.

While a timeline for him to make his NBA debut hasn't been established, Thiero's return doesn't appear to be imminent.

The Lakers assigned Thiero (knee) to their G League affiliate South Bay Lakers on Wednesday, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Thiero is recovering from a knee injury he sustained toward the end of his college career before being selected by the Lakers in the 2025 NBA Draft. The wing was expected to be ready for the start of training camp, but his recovery has slowed substantially. Per Dan Woike of The Athletic, Thiero has been cleared for on-court contact work, and the next step in his progression is being cleared for 5-on-5 work. He'll be incorporated into team practices over the next week, starting in South Bay.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Logs limited practice
Thiero (knee) was a modified practice participant Sunday, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Thiero missed all of Summer League and training camp due to left knee issues and isn't expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, though he's shown progress by participating in some on-court and practice work. The rookie out of Arkansas, selected No. 36 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, will need to earn his way into the rotation once fully healthy.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Out for at least two more weeks
Thiero (knee) will be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Thiero has progressed to on-court activities, but his knee soreness will likely prevent him from participating in the onset of the regular season. The rookie forward didn't project to be part of the Lakers' Opening Night rotation, so his absence is unlikely to free up any minutes.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Limited to individual work
Thiero (knee) is still not participating in live drills at practice, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Thiero remains limited to individual workouts due to a knee injury. The rookie forward is losing out on valuable reps at training camp, and he can be considered doubtful to make his preseason debut Sunday against the Warriors. Until Thiero is cleared for contact, the door remains open for Jake LaRavia and Dalton Knecht to nail down a reserve role in the Lakers' frontcourt.
