Now at four weeks into his recovery, Webster is beginning to practice with the team, but will still be out for a few weeks. Watching the early portions of the season from behind the bench at home games and on television when the Timberwolves travel has been torturous and Webster is antsy to get on the floor for his new team. However, he’s smart enough to know that back issues are serious and will not return until he and the team are quite sure that he is physically able to do so. While rehabbing, Webster has had a lot of time for introspection, finding ways to connect with his teammates without being able to get onto the court with them.
“As of right now from a personal standpoint, I think that this surgery was the best thing for me because my posture hasn’t been right since I was in high school,” said Webster. “For it to be actually causing me pain and with how well I was playing with this injury, now that I have this taken care of and all the pressure is relieved, now I can focus on getting better. I think it was a great thing for me because my posture and the way I was walking was kind of a slump and hunched over ever since I was a junior in high school, so now I can stand straight up, strengthen that and I think that’s going to be beneficial for me and my career.”
Although Webster and the team have not set an official date for his return as of yet, the wait to see him on the floor in a regularseason game will be over soon enough. While the team continues to progress and turns a few heads by their play, Webster’s addition should only make the team more dangerous.
“I’m glad it happened,” said Webster. “It’s unfortunate that it happened now that I’ve come to a new team and I’m so excited to play with them and play for Coach. It’s a minor setback, but it’s good for the long run. Right now, I’m my teammate’s biggest fan. That’s the way you have to be.”
