Whether it’s his steals, chasing guys down, blocking shots or him just forcing guys in the bad shots, it ignites our offense. So not having him out there, it’s been tough. And honestly, we’ll never be as good of a team as we can be unless he’s out there. We know that we have to hold it down. And he’s been great just being vocal, still being a leader, trying to encourage guys throughout the time he has been out. But we miss him a lot. Just that one game he played before he got hurt, against Detroit, you could feel the difference he made. And just his energy and his enthusiasm and just his toughness and everything he brings on the court, you know, takes our team to another level. -via Andscape / March 5, 2025
