According to Tom Orsborn of My San Antonio, Lonnie Walker IV is improving and feels that he's back to his old self again.

“It feels like I am back to Lonnie Walker,” he said. “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.”

Currently, Walker is with the Spurs' G League affiliate, the Austin Spurs, for rehabilitation. The team will be playing against the Agua Caliente Clippers at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park. Walker himself will suit up but will be playing limited minutes. This is a welcome sign that Walker is close to a hundred percent.

“I will be playing down in Austin for a few days, (with) minute restrictions and stuff,” Walker added. “Just trying to get a rhythm, get a feel for the game. It's been a little while, so my time will be come. It's going to be very soon and I will be officially back up (with the Spurs).”

Walker was the 18th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. He sustained the aforementioned knee injury in the fourth quarter against the Detroit Pistons on October 5 and underwent surgery three days later. In his lone year with the University of Miami, Walker averaged 11.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.
