Martell Webster still healing from surgery

Martell Webster has an uphill battle in front of him. Historically, back injuries have marred professional athletes’ careers and the swingman is rehabbing from his third back surgery in four years before his 28th birthday.

As for his work on the court, the Wizards remain unsure when Webster will be cleared to return. Webster had the surgery on June 27 and was given a diagnosis of three to five months recovery.

“It’s kind of just day to day. He’s probably not obviously going to be 100 percent come Tuesday,” Coach Randy Wittman said at a news conference Wednesday, referring to the start of training camp.
