Looks like he's a bit ahead of schedule which is good news. Sounds like he could be back with us in the begining of Feburay.
Spurs rookie James Anderson could be back in uniform and playing in games by week’s end, but not for the Spurs.
The most recent MRI ?exam of Anderson’s right foot revealed that the stress fracture in his fifth metatarsal, suffered Nov. 8, is fully healed.
Cleared to begin on-court drills this week, the 6-foot-6 swingman from Oklahoma State will get back in game shape by playing for the Spurs’ NBA Development League team, the Austin Toros, perhaps as soon as this weekend.
“This coming week, he’s going to be going one-on-one, two-on-two, three-on-three, that kind of thing, so he’ll have his first contact,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “The end of the week, or some time the following week, he’ll go down to the D-League to play for a while, so he’s a couple of weeks away from coming back to us, probably towards the end of the month.”
