Noah Vonleh - Shanghai Sharks

Recommended Posts

Charlotte Hornets power forward Noah Vonleh, the ninth overall pick in June’s draft, could start playing 5-on-5 next week after missing all of training camp with a sports hernia.

Vonleh had surgery last month and had been limited to running and shooting on his own. Starting Wednesday he was allowed to play 1-on-1 games, the first contact he’s had since his injury was diagnosed.

“I’m trying to see how I’m feeling when I’m moving laterally and when guys are physical with me, how I respond to it,” Vonleh said Thursday after a lengthy post-practice workout.

“I’m still being cautious with it, but I’m moving better. Very excited to be back on the court.”

A 6-foot-10 forward, Vonleh turned pro after one college season at Indiana. He wasn’t expected to play a lot this season behind Marvin Williams and Cody Zeller, but Hornets coach Steve Clifford felt a little shorthanded among big men with Vonleh out.

Vonleh first tested his body against contact after shootaround Wednesday morning in Philadelphia.

“I was a little sore. I was icing a lot last night. But I’m feeling good,” Noah said.

Assuming no setback, Vonleh anticipates starting to play full-court 5-on-5 in practice next week. When he’d be cleared to start playing in games would be based on that.

“I’m going to talk to the doctors (after the next step) and see what they’re saying and go from there,” Vonleh said.

lol  Make 'em say Uggghhhh!  lol  Awesome!  I had some Master P in my collection back in the day!  Good stuff right there!  I remember the Fury too.  Wasn't that also the name of the Fort wayne indoor soccer team in the late 80s?  Maybe that was the Fire or the Flames or something.
