After six months of rehabilitation on his surgically repaired left knee, New Orleans Hornets forward David West has been fully cleared to return to basketball, his agent told Yahoo! Sports.
West was given complete clearance after an exam with Dr. David Altchek at Hospital for Special Surgery on Thursday.
