Back with parent club The Lakers recalled Thiero from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Monday.

Impact Thiero rejoined the Lakers ahead of Sunday's 111-89 loss to the Celtics, but he was inactive for the contest. The Lakers presumably wanted to build in some extra rest for Thiero, who had returned to action shortly before the All-Star break following an extended absence due to a right knee MCL sprain. Prior to being recalled, the rookie second-round pick joined South Bay for its Friday/Saturday back-to-back set versus the Texas Legends. He poured in 19 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT) to go with seven rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes in Friday's 127-105 win before sitting out for maintenance-related reasons in Saturday's 104-99 victory.

Recalled to parent club Thiero was recalled from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Monday, Ryan Ward of Lakers on SI reports.

Impact Thiero, who hasn't played since Dec. 30 due to a right MCL sprain, practiced with the G League team Sunday and has since been recalled to the NBA level. The rookie won't play Monday against the Thunder and is unlikely to suit up Tuesday versus the Spurs, the Lakers' final game before the All-Star break. Thiero has appeared in 15 games this season, averaging 1.3 points and 1.2 rebounds in 5.8 minutes per contest.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact According to McMenamin, Thiero took part in a full-contact practice with South Bay on Sunday, marking the rookie 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.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Thiero (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thiero remains out with a sprained right MCL, and a timeline for return has yet to be established. He's been sidelined since Dec.30.

JANUARY 2 • LAKESHOWLIFE.COM

Out four weeks Thiero will miss at least four weeks with a right MCL sprain, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thierro missed the beginning of the season with a left knee issue, so this is not related to that. Thiero will be re-evaluated in four weeks, but it's likely he misses the whole month of January. Thiero has just 15 NBA appearances to his name this season.

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.

Impact Making his NBA debut after completing his recovery from the left knee surgery he required prior being drafted in June, Thiero played two abbreviated shifts. After taking the court for the final 1:48 of the first quarter, Thiero 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.
