He admitted that when he suffered the initial injury in Arizona back in September, he thought his season was over.
“I didn’t think it wasn’t possible,” he admitted. “I just kind of I told myself from the get-go, like that’s who I am. I ain’t going to, I guess, soak in the pain or whatever it is. It is what it is.
“This next step, I attack it how I attack everything else, and whatever comes from it comes from it, and you know hopefully I’ll get a chance to play in some meaningful games.”
Hunt sounded a cautious tone, saying it was like fixing a car, and driving it to the Harris Teeter as opposed to putting it on the highway to Raleigh, but he’s also excited to get back.
“We don’t know. We’ll see how it goes,” he said when asked if a potential playoff game was a more realistic expectation. “This is literally my first day after. I know my body. I know my body does react, and it goes quick, so I can be ready if I do it the right way, I probably could be ready by whenever.
“I’m not going to say a date, but I can be ready soon if I take care of my body, do it the right way. I know my body just needs a tune up, man.”
