“He seems to be doing really well,” Miller said. “We’ve gotten great reports. (Trainer Mike Mulcahey) couldn’t be happier with him. Josh is a very detailed kid. In watching him doing his rehab a year ago, you kind of know what you’re getting there. He’s ahead of schedule. He’s been doing some biking. He’s starting to move around. Once we get post-Christmas, we’ll have an idea of how much longer it will be until the next step in his rehab, which will be non-weight bearing. But he’s doing a good job.”

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 doesn’t 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.
“If a return doesn’t go work out this season, he’ll have to go through an appeal,” Miller said. “Obviously, he transferred, so it’ll be a sixth year, but he has a good case.”
