Houston junior Marcus Sasser has reportedly been cleared to play at the NBA G League Elite Camp this month in Chicago, Illinois, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.
Sasser underwent season-ending surgery in December to repair a broken bone in his left foot. The injury came as Sasser had put forth a strong start to the season, averaging 17.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.2 steals in 12 games. He was shooting 43.7% from 3-point range.
The 6-foot-1 guard was among those prospects invited to participate in the elite camp on May 16-17 in front of NBA and G League scouts, coaches and front-office executives. He is now expected to be ready to participate in 5-on-5 and other related on-court activities.
