Ariza (ankle) is active and will be in the Lakers' rotation during their Sunday night contest against the Bulls, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After undergoing ankle surgery shortly before the start of the season, the veteran wing is yet to appear in a game this season, but he will be active Sunday night as the Lakers deal with several COVID-related absences. Over his last three seasons of play, Ariza has averaged 10.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals across 30.1 minutes per contest. While his best years are behind him, coach Frank Vogel and the Lakers will welcome Ariza's defensive capabilities.
