Cleveland Cavaliers star Isaac Okoro hasn’t played a game with his team since the start of November.
Okoro has been nursing a knee injury and is hoping to come back as soon as possible.
Fans are eager to see Okoro back on the floor, and they may get their wish soon.
Evan Dammarell spotted Okoro in the practice gym, warming up and working out with the coaching staff.

Things seemed to be going so well with Okoro that he was practicing alongside Donovan Mitchell, which is definitely a sign that his recovery is headed in the right direction.

Okoro was having the best season of his career before his injury pushed him to the sidelines.
He was averaging 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists during his six games and started in five of them.
Okoro has now missed nine straight games, but Dammarell noted that he was wearing a reserve player uniform during the practice session, which suggests that he is getting better and able to move around a lot more.
The Cavaliers could definitely use his help.
Although they have won five of the last seven games, Cleveland is still the eighth team in the East, which means they have a lot of room for growth.
Okoro’s next chance to rejoin his team will be this Saturday, as the Cavaliers face off against the Los Angeles Lakers.
After that, they will play the Toronto Raptors, Atlanta Hawks, and Portland Trail Blazers.
Injuries have been plaguing the Cavaliers all season long and they are eager to put Okoro’s absence behind them.
