Iman Shumpert is back on his feet, but he is a long way from getting back on the basketball court.
The Knicks guard, who made an appearance yesterday at a Sprint NBA Nation event at South Street Seaport, is back walking under his own power after surgery early last month to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. But he is still expecting to miss the first two months of the season.
“The target date [for my return] is January,” Shumpert told The Post.
That means Shumpert is expecting his return to be closer to eight months, the long end of the six-to-eight-month initial projection for his recovery from the surgery.
