    AJ Edu is slowly working his way back to form as he continues his road to recovery after his second ACL injury.

    AJ Edu injury update

    The Fil-Cypriot center posted clips of him getting some shots up and doing some dribbling and lateral drills as he hopes to return to action soon.

    Edu, 21, suffered a left ACL injury during one of the University of Toledo's practices back in July.

    That was the same knee that the 6-foot-9 beanpole hurt at the 2019 Fiba Under-19 World Cup in Heraklion, Greece.

    It was a tough development for Edu, who was projected to be included in the youthful Gilas Pilipinas pool as well as in Toledo's campaign this 2021-22 season.

      He has only played 35 games for the Rockets in his two seasons with the team, with his freshman year giving everyone a glimpse of what he could do after he posted 3.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 14.3 minutes of play back in the 2018-19 campaign.

      Edu was expected to take a bigger piece of the pie for his junior season in 2020-21, starting in the two games and averaged 1.0 point, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in 23.5 minutes until the knee injury cut his season short.
