Steve Lavin is clear of cancer and ready to return to St. John's.

Lavin missed most of the 11-12 season while undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. 

"I can tell that I'm closer to being back to a level of health that I was at prior to the treatment," Lavin said. "Naturally, I still have to be vigilant on the health front -- as we all do when we get older, or coming off something like a battle with cancer. But I clearly feel in a better place in terms of my stamina, my strength, my conditioning."
