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.
