Lakers F Trevor Ariza, who hasn't played since breaking his right foot in practice Jan. 20, was cleared Tuesday to practice with no restrictions. "The bone is not completely healed, but it's healed as much as it's going to heal," team spokesman John Black said, adding the chances of Ariza breaking the same bone again are remote. He did not play in Game 5 vs. Utah, however. (Updated 05/15/2008).

Foot - Questionable for Game 6 of playoff series at Utah (Updated - 5/15/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Jackson said no timetable has been set on when Ariza might play in a game. "We'll just see what he can do. Vlade's not played well in the last two games," Jackson said, referring to Vladimir Radmanovic, the Lakers' starting small forward. "(Ariza) plays that position. We'll see if Vlade can't right his game here." Ariza is nothing more than another reserve forward for the Lakers, so the team has no reason to rush him back and Fantasy owners had no reason to miss him this season. Don't expect him to play a big role in 2008-09 either. (Updated 05/15/2008).
No information available at this time.
