Scott Perry: Unfortunately, [Domantas] Sabonis, another veteran player, has missed a lot of time this year. Just as I thought he was starting to gain some sort of rhythm to his game, now he’s out again. But again, hard worker with his approach and mindset. I spent a lot of time with Zach [LaVine] in the offseason. You talk about professional, another guy that works at this game, comes in here at night like DeMar. We all know that Zach is a guy who really scores the basketball. He’s shown that as DeMar has throughout his career. The challenge for him and DeMar is, can we get better defensively? From a mental standpoint, they all bought in to getting that effort and trying. Unfortunately, we didn’t win enough games there in the beginning, but he’s still plugged in.
