Lakers head coach JJ Redick said Monday that Adou Thiero (knee) is ramping up his workouts and could return to game action by week’s end.

Thiero dealt with knee swelling at the end of preseason and has been unavailable since. That could change this week, as the second-year wing has recently ramped up his workout intensity. While this won’t affect fantasy basketball, Thiero’s return will add athleticism on the wing for the Lakers.
