Monta Ellis 80-85 Percent Recovered

 
01.8.2009 - Updated on 01.8.2009
Monta Ellis has been cleared by team doctors to begin the "end stage" of his rehabilitation from ankle surgery - the final step before he resumes practicing with the Warriors.

Warriors’ loss further marred by Wright’s injury 01.07.09
Ellis’ green light came after completing a series of strength tests and medically-supervised drills. He took the court just before 7 p.m. Wednesday and worked out for 23 minutes, shooting and running under the watch of Dr. John Belzer.

Ellis never went full speed, but he moved briskly, jumped a bit, didn’t favor his injured left ankle, and eventually was shooting fallaway 20-foot jump shots over "defender" Rico Hines, an assistant coach.

Though the Warriors again did not offer a timetable for Ellis’ return to practice, coach Nelson said his injured guard is "80 to 85 percent (recovered), strengthwise."
