C.J. McCollum, who is recovering from a fracture to the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot, said he’s optimistic he will gain clearance to ditch the walking boot “in a couple days.”
Then, if all goes well next week during a medical checkup, he should be able to advance his rehabilitation work and inch one step closer to returning to the court.
“The foot’s feeling pretty good,” McCollum said. “I’m just continuing to progress. It’ll be a good sign if I have a clean X-ray.”
