Forward Luke Walton and center Kwame Brown practiced for the first time since suffering sprained ankles, playing full-court four-on-four and also half-court four-on-four at the team's training facility.
Their return is soon, but still slightly difficult to pinpoint. The Lakers' next game is Friday against Sacramento, leaving two more practices to evaluate both players.
"There's a lot still left to be seen this week," Coach Phil Jackson said. "[We] just don't even know what we'd list them — as doubtful, questionable or where we go as far as that goes."

The NBA trade deadline has come and gone but Scottie Pippen remains unsigned. He is on the Lakers' radar, but they have no sense of urgency to sign him.
"I'll probably do that when I get back after this weekend," Jackson said Sunday. "I'm sure there are other people out there that have needs like ours with their injuries and they know his experience. I know that he's looking to help a team that's a winning team. He didn't mention us [yet] but mentioned some teams that were poised to make a playoff run. I haven't heard from him."

Vladimir Radmanovic hasn't yet formally apologized to teammates, but they're aware of his admission of guilt.
"They're calling him 'Slalom Vlade,' " Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said.
The Lakers haven't decided whether they will fine him for lost time since his confession that a separated right shoulder was caused by a snowboarding spill, not a fall on a slippery sheet of street ice in Park City, Utah, his initial explanation. He is banned from snowboarding in his contract and will miss seven more weeks.
"There's a few things to clear up," Jackson said. "I think that we'll come to terms with that this next week, and then we're moving forward."
