He thinks he could be on an NBA floor again by early December.Right now, I can pretty much do everything, Chalmers said. Ive been on the court the last two, three months just working on getting back.

And whatever nervousness I have coming back, its all going to be gone as soon as that first shot goes in. ' ' '
