LET’S LISTEN IN TO HIM AT THE PODIUM. THERE’S SOME INTEREST IN YOUR CALF. DO YOU HAVE ANY UPDATE FOR US THERE? NOTHING MORE THAN YOU’VE ALREADY SEEN. I PRACTICED TODAY, DID WHAT I COULD. I KNOW COACH TOLD YOU GUYS WHAT THE PROCESS WILL BE TOMORROW FOR ME TO PLAY. AND. YEAH, WE’RE JUST TAKING IT FROM THERE. ARE YOU DEALING WITH THE STRAIN? YEAH. OKAY. TIM HERE FROM TYRESE. OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT TO PLAY. EVERYBODY ALWAYS WANTS TO PLAY. AND IT IS THE FINALS WHICH ONLY MAKES YOU WANT TO PLAY MORE. HOW SMART DO YOU HAVE TO BE? I GUESS IN THIS SITUATION. OR ARE YOU NOT EVEN THINKING IN THOSE TERMS AT THIS POINT? WELL, I THINK IT DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK. I MEAN, YOU’RE ASKING ME SO I THINK I HAVE TO BE AS SMART AS I AS I WANT TO BE. I HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE RISKS, ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS. BUT I’M A COMPETITOR. I WANT TO PLAY. I’M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO PLAY. AND THAT’S JUST WHAT IT IS. BUT, I MEAN, I THINK, I THINK THE ANSWER TO THAT IS, DEPENDING ON WHO YOU ASK, OKAY. FOLLOW UP HERE. OH, SORRY. CAN YOU GIVE US AN IDEA OF WHAT THE TREATMENT IS LIKE? IS IT LIKE, AS I KNOW, AS CLOSE TO 24 HOURS AS YOU CAN DO? LIKE WHAT? WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A STRAINED CALF? WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR IT? YEAH. I MEAN, I THINK JUST AROUND THE CLOCK STUFF. AS MUCH AS I CAN. MASSAGE NEEDLES, HYPERBARIC, EACH WAVE, I MEAN, JUST A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS TO TRY TO GET IT, TO FEEL AS COMFORTABLE AS YOU CAN GOING INTO IT. THE RIGHT TAPE AND STUFF, YOU KNOW, WHILE WHILE I AM PERFORMING AND YEAH, I MEAN, I’M SURE THERE’S A BUNCH OF MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS WHO COULD GIVE YOU A BETTER, BETTER ANSWER, BUT JUST DOING EVERYTHING THAT I’M TOLD, TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN. NEXT ROW BACK. HI, TYRESE, GUILHERME GIOVANNONI FROM ESPN BRAZIL. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ABOUT YOUR TEAMMATE ANDREW NEMBHARD. HE’S DOING A VERY GOOD SERIES, BUT HE HAS LIKE IN THE LAST QUARTER, A FEW MINUTES THAT HE TURNOVER. HE MISSED SHOTS. HAVE YOU GUYS TALKED TO HIM TO KEEP HIS CONFIDENCE HIGH. AND BECAUSE HE’S A VERY IMPORTANT GUY FOR YOU. YEAH I MEAN I THINK THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE GAME WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. NOBODY’S REALLY TRIPPING OFF IT. I UNDERSTAND WHO HE IS AND HOW BIG OF A PART OF OUR GROUP HE IS. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK LAST GAME CAME DOWN TO MANY, MUCH MORE THINGS. AND, YOU KNOW, JUST A COUPLE TURNOVERS OR A COUPLE MISSED SHOTS HERE AND THERE. THERE’S SO MANY THINGS THAT WE CAN DO BETTER AS A GROUP. SO YOU KNOW, I THINK WE DON’T EVEN NEED THERE DOESN’T NEED TO BE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW WE’RE MOVING ON TO GAME SIX. AND YOU KNOW WE FEEL LIKE EVERYBODY’S GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE BETTER IN DIFFERENT AREAS. AND, YOU KNOW EVERYBODY HAS TO BE PREPARED FOR THAT. DUSTIN THE CENTER JUST JUST TO KIND OF CLARIFY THE TIMELINE ON THIS WHOLE THING. I MEAN, YOU JUST GENERALLY REFERRED TO IT AS LOWER LEG, BUT I GUESS WAS IT AN ANKLE AFTER GAME TWO AND WAS IT A CALF AFTER GAME FIVE? I GUESS? WERE THOSE TWO COMPLETELY SEPARATE INJURIES? HAD YOU BEEN DEALING WITH A CALF AT ALL BEFORE GAME FIVE AND THAT THAT JUST BECOME, I GUESS, WHEN YOU TRIPPED TRYING TO DRIVE ON CHAT THERE? YEAH, IT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT. YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. YOU GOT A FOLLOW UP DUSTIN. ONE MORE. SORRY, TY. YOU’VE TALKED BEFORE ABOUT THE SITUATION WHEN, YOU KNOW, THE STAFF KIND OF SAVES YOU FROM YOURSELF BASICALLY. I MEAN, JUST HOW MUCH TRUST I GUESS.

AND AGAIN, LIKE YOU SAID, SORT OF TAKING CARE OF YOU, MAKE YOU MAKE SURE YOU DON’T GO BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN DO. YEAH, I, I HAVE A LOT OF TRUST IN OUR MEDICAL STAFF. I HAVE A LOT OF TRUST IN OUR ORGANIZATION TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION. I THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE’S BEEN MANY SITUATIONS THROUGH THE COURSE OF MY CAREER WHERE THEY’VE TRUSTED ME ON MY BODY. AND, I MEAN, YOU’RE HERE MORE THAN ANYBODY. YOU KNOW, I’M. I’M QUESTIONABLE FROM TIME TO TIME THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE SEASON. AND THEY TRUST ME TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION ON MY BODY WHEN THE POWER IS IN MY HANDS AND, YOU KNOW, I’M GOING TO TRY MY BEST TO TO DO THAT. BUT, I MEAN, YOU UNDERSTAND, I WANT TO BE OUT THERE AND, YOU KNOW, THAT’S THE PLAN. MICHAEL, LAST QUESTION HERE REAL QUICK, TYRESE. THANK YOU.
