Shumpert Cleared for Practice?

Rumors are out there that Iman Shumpert was cleared for practice as of 1/7 and will do so as soon as possible. This is music to all of our ears. The Knicks will definitely have to take there time with Shump, but his addition to the Knicks roster is a positive one to say the least. The Knicks perimeter defense has been very suspect as of late and when he rounds back into shape he will solidify the back-court. According to Frank Isola of the Daily News. Iman Shumpert is expected to be given clearance to resume practicing on a full-time basis after the second- year guard met with team doctors on Monday. “We’ll see how the tests went,” Mike Woodson said. “He’s getting close, that’s all I can tell you at this point. But I don’t know how the tests turned out.” Shumpert, who had major surgery on his left knee last May, went through a rigorous workout prior to the Knicks-Celtics game under the watchful eye of Knicks orthopedic surgeon Dr. Answorth Allen. After 15 minutes, Allen walked onto the court and slapped hands with Shumpert as if to congratulate him. Once Shumpert is cleared, he could conceivably return anytime within the next two weeks.
