Kendrick Nunn says his injury last year was due to overuse, and he’s had to learn to think more of the strain he’s put on his body. But after working throughout the summer, he says he’s now fully healthy and ready to go. – 3:12 PM

Kendrick Nunn on getting healthy: “It’s been going good. I feel well now. The process was slow, as you know. It started to pick up this summer. Started with 1-on-1, then 3-on-3 … now 5-on-5. I feel real good going into the season. I feel healthy now. I’m ready.” – 3:12 PM

Big one – Kendrick Nunn has been cleared for both contact and non contact work, though Pelinka notes they’re going to be careful. But that’s excellent news for the team. BK – 2:22 PM
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
