via Joel Lorenzi<\/a>):<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve been dealing with knee soreness in my knee. I\u2019m sure people can call it out \u2014 I\u2019m not the same player I used to be. That\u2019s why. I\u2019m not the J.I. I used to be. The old J.I. is dead. I\u2019m alive in Christ no matter what the basketball setting is. \u2026 no matter how many DNPs, how many points I score, those things are a temporary thing. Jesus is eternal.\u201d<\/p>\n
