Jordan Hill says his ailing hip is at 80 to 85 percent and he expects to be 100 percent by training camp.
Hill says he'll go see a surgeon in three to four weeks just to check on his progress but it sounds like he should be good to go to begin next season. Hill also added that his back didn't give him any problems all season after having issues with it during camp. Hill will likely back up whoever plays center for the Lakers next season.

Jordan Hill - F/C - Lakers

Jordan Hill came in late during Game 2 on Wednesday, finishing with two points and two rebounds in six minutes.

He came back about three months early from his hip surgery, but probably won't be able to give the Lakers much more than a big body to try to stop and foul the Spurs' big men.

Jordan Hill, who has been medically cleared after hip surgery, doesn't sound like a lock to play on Wednesday, according to coach Mike D'Antoni.

All reports are that Hill is ready to go, but D'Antoni might not be ready to use him just yet. Then again, D'Antoni has been known to change his mind, so it wouldn't be all that surprising to see Hill on the court tonight.

Jordan Hill - F/C - Lakers

Updating a previous item, Jordan Hill (hip surgery) has been cleared for game action ahead of Wednesday's Game 2 vs. the Spurs.

Hill was ruled out of the first round previously and was said not to be doing any contact work, but Yahoo! Sports reported earlier that Hill would be available. The Lakers said Hill has been practicing in full-contact drills for a few days and hasn't experienced any setbacks. While Hill has been medically cleared, it'll be a coach's decision as to whether he actually gets into Game 3 tonight. Hill would be a huge help for the Lakers and their second unit but he will do so under a minutes restriction.

Jordan Hill - F/C - Lakers

Jordan Hill (hip surgery) has not yet been cleared for five-on-five contact activity.

Hill is practicing with the team, but he's been ruled out of the first round against San Antonio already, so don't expect to see him. The fact that he hasn't been cleared for contact work is an obvious indication that he's not quite ready to play.

Jordan Hill (hip) will not play in the Round 1 series against the Spurs.

Hill is getting some work in at practice Friday, but he hasn't been cleared for contact. Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol figure to push for about 40 minutes each night in this series.

Jordan Hill (hip) is now running at 90 percent of his body weight on an anti-gravity treadmill.

Hill has made progress as he was at 85 percent of his body weight earlier in the week. Still, the Lakers need a deep playoff run in order for Hill to return this year.

Jordan Hill (hip) has been cleared to begin running on a treadmill.

He has been cleared to run on an Alter G treadmill, which will limit his weight-bearing to just 70 percent of his body weight. Hill is still holding out hope that he can return in a few weeks, but some reports have it as a "miracle." We're not expecting him to be back this season or in the playoffs.

Mike D'Antoni said it would take a "miracle" for Jordan Hill (hip) to return this season.

Hill is in Nashville getting his hip checked out, and while he's still holding out hope to return in late April or early May, it won't matter if the Lakers aren't playing. Although Hill is doing elliptical workouts currently, it's likely that we won't see Hill until the start of 2013/14.

Jordan Hill - F/C - Lakers

Jordan Hill, who was expected to be out for the season after hip surgery, could return in either late April or early May if he doesn't have any setbacks.

"It remains a long shot" for Hill to return early, and even the doctors have told him that the possibility is "slim." This won't do anything for fantasy owners, but it would be a serious boost for the Lakers if the team could get anything from Hill again this year. He's no longer using crutches, and Hill will be reevaluated in three weeks.

The Lakers will not use the disabled player exception they received from Jordan Hill's hip injury, a source told the Los Angeles Daily News.

The $1.8 million exception expires on Monday, but with the Lakers' payroll sitting around $100 million, there is no desire to add onto that right now. The Lakers can still sign a player using a 10-day deal or minimum contract.

Jordan Hill (hip) could return if the Lakers are still playing in June.

We're not counting on Hill's return this season, but if the Lakers are somehow still alive in June, Hill could potentially be available.

The Lakers are not currently eyeing free agent big men, a source told ESPN Los Angeles.

The team wants "to see how much Dwight can give them" with his injured shoulder, but the Lakers may simply be delaying the inevitable with injuries to Howard, Pau Gasol (foot) and Jordan Hill (hip, out for season).
