KC Johnson: Fred Hoiberg said Michael Carter-Williams has important doctor visit Friday. Hopeful he's back next week.
Hoiberg didn't sound overly concerned that Carter-Williams would have to miss more time because of the latest setback. "I don't know if it was one thing that caused the progress to stall," Hoiberg said. "He's been doing great, his knee feels really good right now. He's back doing full activity on the floor as far as running in a straight line and his activity level we'll continue to ramp up as far as working on his legs. That's the good thing about being that it's not his dominant hand. So he'll still be able to get out and shoot with his right hand, get out and shoot, and continue to increase his workload with his legs. He'll be able to stay in pretty good shape, so when that thing is completely healed, he'll be able to get back on the floor for us."
