I don't know, you go through what you go through. You handle adversity, and I think it made me hungrier.

I just try to keep rebounding the ball as much as I can. I just go out there and do what needs to be done and don't worry about my stats.

I always try to push myself, even more now because evidently I'm not doing something right. I'm trying to do the little things that count in practice to try and get my job back.

I haven't even been thinking about it really. I'm just going to talk to coach. We will have a team meeting when we go back and (I'm) just (going to) focus on school.

As I grew up, I played in sandals. I played in flip-flops all the time back in the day. That's why I didn't really care about spraining my ankles. When I first started in the NBA, I loved low-cuts. I can play (in them), because I used to grow up playing in flip-flops all the time.

Everything happens for a reason; I'm a big believer in that.

They talked about teamwork. That's all it is. It's about team effort. No particular player trying to outshine each other. Playing unselfishly and believe. Good things will come.
