Bonner = GOAT
the commentators last night said that Bonner was running on the treadmill before the game. It sounds like he is on pace for a return.
Can you be any less difinitive??? I mean, I know you're offering up an update, but "on pace for a return" begs the obvious question...When?
The poster Sam should have an update. Hopefully he sees this thread when he's on.
Bill Schoening stated that the trainer anticipated a return for Bonner after the All Star Break. Supposedly Bonner thinks he'll be ready before ASB.
I hope it's after the ASB, I'd think the training staff would urge him to take the extra time to rest before returning so he dosen't re-injure himself.
sorry I meant "on schedule", and failed to fill in the facts. He was injured on Jan. 13th and was expected to take a month or 6 weeks before returning. The first game after the all-star break is Denver at home which is 5 1/2 weeks. If he's running now, 2 weeks before that game, I think that's "on pace".
"If he's running now "
he's been running since the day after his injury, I would guess. He hurt his shoulder, not his running equipment.
his knee
ah, right, it Elson's shoulder. I get them mixed up, they look alike.

Bonner is running on treadmill, riding bike and working out in the pool. He started shooting last week some but just started doing some agilities and minor cuts this week. He's thinking he could be back at the Miami game but Will is telling him to wait to make sure after the all star break. Matt isn't really wanting to though. He's been lifting weights and still working out some. Feb. 22nd is the trade deadline.
if he comes back before the ASB i know he wont be the bonner before the injury
No, actually might be better because he has had the time to study film and he has the confidence that he didn't have at the beginning. He's really bonding with the guys now.
when bonner was drafted by toronto, he promised he would get them a championship
that really shows how hard he is willing to work
What will be interesting to me is what happens when Bonner comes back. One of the bigmen will have to be knocked out of the rotation. Elson is probably safe so it'll come down to one of Oberto, Horry or Bonner not being in the rotation.
If it were up to me, I'd replace Oberto in the current rotation with Bonner.
Bonner was averaging 17mpg (his highest all season) during the month of Jan before he went down with the injury and some of those minutes were due largely to the back-to-backs in which Horry didn't dress. I think when he comes back from injury he'll have to continue to prove himself before he gets close to 20mpg and a regular spot in the rotation.
Not sure if he's the go-to-guy off the bench or even a regular rotation guy after the injury, but it's an interesting situation to watch....
I think John Bunyan has this information.
