The NBA has plenty of fallen stars, but only a few can recover and make themselves valuable again. Who has bounced back early in the new season?

The NBA can be a truly fickle league. Sure, a player can be a hot commodity one day, but what happens when their play declines and their stock drops?

Some players came into this season with their stocks at an all-time low. Now, through changed circumstances, new skills or sheer will, they’ve bounced back and improved themselves.

With a quarter of the regular season now behind us, it’s time to stop writing these players off as small-sample-size flukes. They’re legit, and their new levels of play are here to stay.

There’s nothing better than a good comeback, so who have been the best redemption stories from the first quarter of the NBA season?
