Suns' Len expects to be ready for camp

Phoenix Suns rookie Alex Len, the fifth overall pick in this year's NBA Draft, expects to be ready when the team opens training camp as he recovers from ankle surgery, the Arizona Republic reported.

The 7-foot-1 Len has had surgery on both ankles and will miss all of the summer-league action.

Len had been wearing a boot, but he has been out of the boot for a week.

He is on schedule to participate when Suns training camp opens in Flagstaff in late September.

Len has gained back about 10 of the pounds he lost after the surgery.

"I've got two more weeks of rehab and then I'll be back about 85-90 percent," Len said, according to the Republic. "I'll be back for training camp and be ready for the season. The ankle's feeling great. I have no pain."
