re: Voluntary Workouts Update

For the first time in six months after requiring surgery and having an extended rehabilitation schedule, he was finally cleared for contact work against his teammates this week for volunteer offseason drills.

And it couldn’t had come soon enough for Holiday with the Pelicans' training camp set to open Sept. 30.

''Getting out playing has been a joy,’’ Holiday said after Thursday’s workout. ''I’ve been running and jumping and stuff, but getting my rhythm back on the court is definitely a big thing right now for me.''

...Like Holiday, Gordon has also been cleared for contact work, while Anderson is expected to be evaluated next week before he is cleared by the team -- although his doctors cleared him.

Don't freak out but:

But Holiday said there have some instances when he has changed directions too quickly during some of the scrimmage work and experienced some discomfort. But he blames it on adjusting to getting back to full-scaled work, nothing to be overly concerned about.

''I just started playing, so there are certain moves I might feel feel it,’’ Holiday said. ''I think that’s because I haven’t done those moves.’’

I researched stress fractures when he got injured, and it's the type of injury that doctors don't clear you to do much of anything until you're 100%, so this is probably nothing. More on his rehab at the link.
