After a week of neither former Notre Dame player in NBA seeing game action, it finally happened again this past week. Granted, both players only saw only one game of action apiece, but it still was an improvement from the stretches they just had experienced.
[autotag]Blake Wesley[/autotag] saw action with the San Antonio Spurs for the first time in five games in a 36-point win over the Los Angeles Clippers on New Year’s Eve. In over eight-and-a-half minutes, he made his lone field-goal attempt, dished out four assists and blocked one shot.
[autotag]Pat Connaughton[/autotag] found minutes with the Milwaukee Bucks for the first time in six games Jan. 2 in a three-point loss to the Brooklyn Nets. Over nine-and-a-half minutes, he shot 1 of 3 from the field, grabbed four rebounds and had an assist, steal and block.
It’s hard to know when either player will see the court again, but this stretch at least gives us hope that it will happen sooner than later.
