Three months ahead of schedule after microfracture and meniscus surgery on his right knee, LA Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley has been cleared to return to full basketball activities, his doctor told ESPN.
Dr. Walter Lowe, Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Texas Medical Center, called the speed of Beverley's rehabilitation "remarkable."
Beverley had season-ending surgery on November 22, and had been expected to need a full nine months before receiving Thursday's medical clearance.
"I saw Pat (Thursday) and ordered a new MRI approximately six months out from his microfracture biocartilage repair and lateral meniscus repair," Lowe told ESPN in a statement.
