Hill was evaluated by his doctor this week to determine the timetable for a return, and he showed he was ready to be cleared for running and jumping drills. All along, the Lakers’ training staff has been impressed with Hill’s progress, diligence and attack in rehabilitating a hip injury that was believed to have ended his season. Once Hill resumes basketball drills in the coming week, it “will just be a matter of basketball shape and when he can go,” Bradbury said. The Lakers said Thursday that Hill would need three to four weeks of on-court workouts to come back, but the 25-year-old forward will remain aggressive to beat that timetable. RealGM

Do you remember the moment when you really realized that she was gone? When it was explained to you what this meant? Jordan Hill: It probably had to have been in elementary school. It’s crazy, when I go to visit her grave, it’s like, “I can’t believe she’s gone,” even though I can’t remember her like I want to. But it kind of hits when people always talk about it. Being around my family, they always talk about how wonderful she. She did have her moments. She used to punish her kids. When we did something wrong, she definitely used to do what she had to do. But she was a great woman and it’s kind of hard sometimes to sit there and listen to it, because it kind of hits home. Land O'Lakers

The Lakers may add another player to their roster. It's a long shot, but Lakers forward Jordan Hill said doctors have told him there's a slim possibility he could return in late April or early May after spending the past two months rehabbing from a surgically repaired left hip. "Even if he could come back, to get back in shape and make it in the rotation, that would be tough," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "That would be a miracle." Long Beach Press-Telegram
