Portland Trail Blazers rookie CJ McCollum, who is recovering from fracturing the fifth metatarsal in his left foot, has taken a pivotal step in his rehabilitation by completely removing the protective boot he’s worn since his non-surgical ultrasound procedure a month ago.
McCollum said he took the boot off for the final time on Friday due to not experiencing any discomfort for some time.
The No. 10 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft won’t say much more regarding his status, but says he does like where he’s at right now.
