Los Angeles Clippers' forward Elton Brand had his surgically repaired left Achilles tendon re-examined today by Dr. Craig Morgan at Christiana Care’s Wilmington Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware. During the examination Brand had the cast removed from his left leg and was fitted for a removable walking boot which he is expected to wear for the next six weeks. He will be re-evaluated by Dr. Morgan at the end of that time period.
Brand will begin a rehabilitation program under the supervision of the Clippers training and medical staff which includes local therapy, cardiovascular work and a flexibility and strengthening program.
Brand originally sustained the injury during his daily workout on Friday, August 3rd at the Spectrum Club South Bay in El Segundo, California. Dr. Morgan performed the surgery to repair the injury on Tuesday, August 7th.
