AboveLegit Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 • INJURY: Torn left ACL (2/22/10)• PROGNOSIS: Out until end of November at earliest But the calendar is conspiring against both of them. While Howard does not have any swelling in the knee and his strength is good, and he can walk on an anti-gravity treadmill, he still can't run or do any full-speed basketball drills, and certainly has not been cleared yet for contact or any basketball activities. Right now the Wizards are saying December looks possible, but a return from an ACL injury usually takes a year at least. Whenver Howard comes back, it's likely there will still be minutes available at small forward, where Al Thornton is Washington's only proven player entering camp..http://www.nba.com/2010/news/features/david_aldridge/09/20/morning-tip/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1 I just hope he gets fully healthy, he played fairly well for us in those 4 games, and will probably end up starting once he gets back. I'm interested to see what Al Thornton is able to do now as the starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
