Los Angeles Lakers forward Ryan Kelly (hamstring) could be back on Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies, head coach Byron Scott said, via the team's official Twitter account. Kelly has been sidelined since November.

The second-year pro participated in shootaround on Sunday and did 3-on-3 work before that. He's on schedule, according to Scott. 

In 59 games as a rookie, Kelly averaged 8.0 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. He has only suited up for Los Angeles three times this season, due to various injuries.
