The protective boot has come off and both sneakers will be on today when Marcus Camby takes part in his first workout since Oct. 11.

Camby's injured left foot was reevaluated by foot specialist Dr. William Hamilton on Monday afternoon. The results showed the plantar fasciaitis has improved due to Camby staying off it. The next step is to see how it responds when he runs on it.

Camby, who has not participated in a full practice since Oct. 7, has been cleared to start practicing. He will go through this morning's shootaround, but won't play in tonight's exhibition game against the Jazz. Whether he'll play in Thursday's preseason finale vs. the Nets or the season opener a week from tonight is uncertain.
