Baynes turned 35 during this ordeal, and his goal is to get back to the NBA next season. He’s rehabbing aggressively every day. “He has no off switch, he wants to do it eight hours a day. We try to back him off but it’s not in his nature,” Moldovan says. Part of his drive to get back to the league is because of how much he is enjoying the way NBA referees are calling the games this year. More physical play is being allowed, which favors his long-preferred style. “It looks so much more fun now. That’s how I grew up playing and I really want to get back to it,” Baynes says.
