San Antonio Spurs rookie guard Lonnie Walker IV, who is recovering from a right medial meniscus tear, said Tuesday that he expects to be back with the club "very soon."
Walker is scheduled to play in a game for the Spurs' G-League affiliate on Friday in Austin.
"It feels like I am back to Lonnie Walker," he told reporters. "Just continue to find my rhythm and everything. But day-by-day, it is nothing but improvement. Every day, I can see significant difference on my leg and just how I play overall."
He added: "It's been a little while, so my time will come. It's going to be very soon, and I will be officially back up [with the Spurs]."
Walker had surgery on his knee after injuring it during a preseason game against the Detroit Pistons in October.
Walker was the Spurs' first-round pick in the 2018 NBA draft (18th overall) out of Miami (Fla.).
