MIAMI (AP) – Mario Chalmers’ phone has been ringing for the last few weeks, the calls coming from teams curious about how his recovery is progressing.
He’s about to have a concrete answer.
Chalmers is on target to be cleared for full basketball activity this week, eight months after rupturing his right Achilles tendon. He thinks he could be on an NBA floor again by early December.
“Right now, I can pretty much do everything,” Chalmers said. “I’ve been on the court the last two, three months just working on getting back. I’m back to sprinting, running and jumping.”
He’s always been supremely confident in his game. That hasn’t changed.
