“An additional boost” for D’Antoni
« Once he’s cleared to join us, I think he’ll be ready to play 5v5, explained Mike D’Antoni, the coach of the Rockets. Maybe Friday will be a little too early. We will see with the medical staff and Russell himself how he feels. I hope he will be able to participate in several training matches in order to be ready to play. As soon as you miss a key member like that, it’s a little more difficult. But I know he’s gonna be ready. His return will give players additional momentum. But there was no doubt before. Energy has always been good. »
