Adou Thiero Injury: Returns from G League

The Lakers recalled Thiero (knee) from their G League affiliate 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. The rookie forward was cleared for on-court contact work earlier this week, and the next step in his recovery is to be cleared for 5-on-5 action. While a timeline hasn't been established, he doesn't appear to be close to returning.
