Sacramento Kings wing Kevin Huerter has been cleared for full contact. Huerter will now progress through a ramp-up period before returning to game action.
Huerter was limited to open training camp, as he's still recovering from offseason surgery to fix a torn labrum in his left shoulder. It's expected that he'll be ready to play at the start of the regular season, or shortly thereafter.
After putting together a career-best season in his first year with the Kings, Huerter's play dipped in his second season in Sacramento. The Kings are hoping the 6-foot-7 wing will provide them with perimeter shooting and depth behind a talented group of shooting guards and small forwards.
