The Rockets big man is recovering nicely from back surgery, but still no timetable for his return.
Donatas Motiejunas has been cleared to begin sprints by doctors as he inches closer to be cleared by the Houston Rockets' medical staff to return to practice. Donuts had lumbar microdiscectomy surgery on April 9. He began full work outs just two weeks ago.
It is uncertain at this point if he will be able to return to the Rockets lineup in time for the season opener on Oct. 28 against the Denver Nuggets.
