CDR close to coming back

Douglas-Roberts said he felt good following his Wednesday session. He did what he would usually do before a game - shooting and dribbling drills - but mostly ran straight ahead, not laterally. Although the rookie made it through with "no pain," going side-to-side will be a big test for him since those movements put more stress on a knee.
If he gets through that phase, the next challenge will be getting back in shape. "I missed three weeks of play and that definitely affected my wind and I could really tell out there," Douglas-Roberts said. "After I get my wind up, after another shootaround I should probably be back."

"He desperately wants to play," said Frank. "He's doing everything he can. It's just when his body will fully cooperate."

Love to hear that. Hayes had played really well as of late who I thought CDR was going to get minutes from. I hope he gets the minutes but as long as the wins come, I don't care who plays.

We need him badly, come on, CDR.

When do you guys think he'll be in the starting lineup?

Getting CDR back is going to be a huge breath of fresh air for the perimeter defense we still need a SF how can guard off the ball. Again it's been overlooked but how about dropping Maurice Ager and picking up Patrick Ewing Jr. one thing is he has some upside and can run the fastbreak and can lockdown his guy.

Kiki, Rod give it try ! the bench needs a SF to guard off the ball and possibly delay this SIMMONS ERA until a deal can be made.

March or April.

Big day for Chris Douglas-Roberts. He was going through practice. But after sitting for a couple weeks with a sprained right knee, he started coming down with a cold and was on medication. "I'm going to get out there today and see what I can do. I'll jump right into the mix," CD-R said. "It'll all come down to how I'll feel tomorrow morning."

right now cdr is like a typical second round draft pick. Alot of potential but has shown nothing more especially since the regular season has started. How can you expect him to start when he is already so far behind??

can't wait for him to come back and crack his way into the rotation.

During his first 7 games Brook also has shown nothing. Now, he's a beast out there. IMO, CDR should be ok.

but did brook get 0/0/0 in his first 7 games? He did something, cdr has done nothing....

oh and he also got dnp or coach's decision

Last time he did anything was against college players in the summer league. Next to nothing in preseason and zero in regular season... So far he's no better or worse than haslam adams...

he did real good in the preseason in Europe.

Oh he's better than Hassan and he is a very clutch 1 on 1 ballstopper and you can't tell me you didn't notice his playmaking skills on the court. For CDR it's not if it's when.
