Sabres' Okposo expected to be ready for training camp

After a medical scare in April, Buffalo Sabres winger Kyle Okposo is expected to be ready for training camp.

Okposo was hospitalized and kept in the Neuro Surgical Intensive Care Unit at Buffalo General Medical Center for under a week after reportedly enduring a harmful reaction to medication for a concussion.

"From our standpoint, everything will be ready for him at the start of training camp," Sabres general manager Jason Botterill said, according to Matt Schneidman of The Buffalo News. "Just like all our other players."

"We've had conversation with him. Everything's looking great from Kyle," Botterill said. "He physically looks great and mentally looks great."

Okposo signed a seven-year, $42-million contract with Buffalo last offseason, and suited up in 65 contests in 2016-17, missing time with a rib injury as well as an illness toward the end of the season.

The 29-year-old recorded 45 points last season and represented the Sabres at the All-Star Game in Los Angeles.
