Marquis Daniels tweeted Friday morning that he had the hard cast taken off of his left hand. He will receive a soft cast to continue his rehab.

@lambo6: “Thanks to my higher power my good LORD n Saviour on that note Got my cast off one step closer to gettn back, so excited.”

Daniels underwent surgery in December to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb. He is expected to return around the All-Star Break in February.
