Jordan Hill could possibly return in late April or early May after two months rehabbing from a surgically repaired left hip.

"Even if he could come back, to get back in shape and make it in the rotation, that would be tough," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "That would be a miracle."

Hill has been off crutches for three weeks.

After having surgery Jan. 23 on his left hip, the Lakers expected Hill to stay sidelined for at least six months.
