Brooklyn Nets guard Theo Pinson says the informal workouts in LA were “player-driven.”
Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving organized the mini-camp in LA. Pinson says it's been fun playing with the guys and getting to know the new players, both on and off the court.
“It was basically player-driven,” Pinson told Brian Lewis of The New York Post. “Kyrie was out there, and we wanted to get with him, so we just all went out there and just worked out together.
“A couple guys have been back-and-forth, just because of scheduling and stuff. We’ve got a lot of new guys so they’re trying to get places here. So it’s been back-and-forth. It’s good. It gives us a little head start going into camp. Just getting not just on the court and [basketball-wise], but off the court also: playing ‘[NBA] 2K’, going to dinner and stuff like that. It’s been fun.”
The Nets, of course, signed Irving, Kevin Durant and DeAndre Jordan in free agency this summer. Durant is expected to miss the entire 2019-20 season recovering from his Achilles tear.
Irving, Jordan, Spencer Dinwiddie, Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen and Joe Harris are eager to show the world they can lead the Nets on a deep playoff run in 2019-20 sans Durant.
