Trail Blazers: Meyers Leonard’s Recovery Ahead Of Schedule

Meyers Leonard was optimistic in his ability to be ready to join the Trail Blazers on the court ahead of the 2016-17 regular season. It appears that the newly re-signed big man is ready to practice, and will begin participating in five on five drills in early October. This is welcome news for Portland, as the the recovery of two other post players seems to be lagging behind. Festus Ezeli and Noah Vonleh are working through a more complicated rehab, which has their ability to join the team before the season in question.
