“It’s tough. No one ever wants the injury thing attached to them. People have to realize that I want to be on the court more than you want me on the court because of your fantasy lineup. I’m a young guy who is just trying to prove myself just by being in the NBA. I’m trying to get better. I’m trying to get the next contract. I can’t do any of that unless I’m on the court, so it’s one of those things, like Clint (Capela) said, you are always trying to prove yourself. That’s what comes with being an athlete. People will always say whatever, and it’s not like it gets to me, but it is in the back of my head because I don’t want to be labeled as the guy who is always hurt. I need to prove myself to our GM, to our coach, but I also have to prove to myself that I can be on the court and solidify where I want to be in the NBA.”
