Talen Horton-Tucker will take another big step towards his return to the court on Tuesday, when the third-year guard will be cleared for contact, according to head coach Frank Vogel. The move will allow Horton-Tucker to begin practicing with the team as he inches closer to his regular season debut.
“So Talen is going to be cleared for contact tomorrow, which is exciting,” Vogel said at the team’s Monday shootaround. “We don’t really have any timetable on when he’ll return to game action. That will take some time, but he will be cleared to practice tomorrow.”
Horton-Tucker underwent surgery on a broken thumb late in the preseason on Oct.
