âHe seems to be doing really well,â Miller said. âWeâve gotten great reports. (Trainer Mike Mulcahey) couldnât be happier with him. Josh is a very detailed kid. In watching him doing his rehab a year ago, you kind of know what youâre getting there. Heâs ahead of schedule. Heâs been doing some biking. Heâs starting to move around. Once we get post-Christmas, weâll have an idea of how much longer it will be until the next step in his rehab, which will be non-weight bearing. But heâs doing a good job.â

Cunningham will wear a boot on his ankle for a couple more weeks. Senior guard Kyle Davis said earlier this month he expects Cunningham to play again this season. If that doesnât happen, Cunningham will hope to earn a medical redshirt. That decision would be up to the NCAA because Cunningham already sat out one season after transferring from Bradley.
âIf a return doesnât go work out this season, heâll have to go through an appeal,â Miller said. âObviously, he transferred, so itâll be a sixth year, but he has a good case.â
