As the Knicks prepare for the season at their Yonkers practice facility, Iman Shumpert seems to be ready for the season earlier than expected. It has been about 5 months since Shumpert finished his season with torn ACL, during their playoff series against the Miami Heat.
He isn't participating in full-speed activities with the squad yet, but he is able shoot around during training camp this past week. I did not expect him to be able to play during this time of the season. He suffered a sprained knee injury in the start of his rookie year, and after seeing his last injury, I thought his basketball days might be numbered. Thankfully, he seems to prove me wrong so far.
Courtesy of Seth from Posting and Toasting (the new site looks so nice), you get to see Shumpert in action. Don't know how long it will be until he starts participating in scrimmages, but him being able to play somewhat is definitely a good sign.
If you didn't know already, Shumpert has been rocking the high fade too. You can say he did it to pay homage to his older teammates, all who definitely had the same haircut at some point of their career. That is a hint for my next post!
