Transcript
00:00I mean his career started with an ACL rehab his season started with a cancer diagnosis midseason
00:09he was in chemo and he played 38 minutes in Denver and 39 tonight which is a hell of
00:15an accomplishment
00:16for him so I'm incredibly happy for him couldn't be more impressed with his resilience mental
00:22toughness maturity team orientation all the intangibles you'd ever want in a guy and then
00:28I think the last couple games showed that while he's really inexperienced obviously he's really
00:34talented you know and can really play and that's not lost on us either so this gives him a
00:39good touch
00:40and good momentum going into playoff prep this will be really good for him going through the paces
00:45of
00:45a playoff series but again I going back to the main point I couldn't be happier for him
