Trail Blazers shooting guard Wesley Matthews had surgery to repair his torn left Achilles tendon on March 11 and just 12 weeks later he's back on the basketball court.
Since the day of the injury, the self-proclaimed Iron Man has said he would recover in five months. His prediction is looking good early.
Matthews posted a video on his Instagram account of him shooting threes at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. The video shows him taking, of course, step back three-pointers sans walking boot. Matthews had already declared himself "ahead of schedule" when he shed his walking boot on May 12.
The six year veteran is heading for unrestricted free agency this summer and early signs suggest he could be ready for the start of next season.
