"I'm not where I want to be as far as fully running and fully sprinting. It's a slow process, but as far as the stability and the strength of the knee, it's completely healthy."

Anderson, who is also a professional bowler, helped sponsor a PBA tournament in Lakewood on Saturday and organized a pro-am event in helps of raising the popularity of the sport.

"The goal is to put the sport back to what it was when I was watching it growing up," said Anderson. "I'm going to try to put a tournament together every year and make the prize money bigger and bigger with the more sponsors I get."

Anderson said he hopes to let kids know, "it's cool to bowl."
