T.J. Ford has been going through daily workouts in his hometown of Houston under the watchful eye of Lucas since Jan. 10, when he got the green light to begin his rehab after a visit to the Cleveland Clinic. Lucas, who oversaw Ford’s return from neck surgery in 2004 that cost him the entire 2004-05 season and the final 24 games of the 2003-04 season, said it was all about convincing Ford to start over. That’s something Lucas, a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for 22 years, does every day of his life.
