“During dinner last night, my girlfriend looked at me and tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'Can you believe this is our life now?' We're both still in shock.” he admits. “Even though I rarely go there, there are times on social media, where I get a little confused when I receive information about Wolves.”

I take things as they come” he explains, recalling in passing that the Knicks held their training camp in Charleston, and that he has only just arrived in the “Big Apple”.

It’ll be really weird…” recognizes the former “franchise player” from Minnesota. “But it’s business, and it’s just a game.” he adds, ready to trashtalk with Anthony Edwards. “He’s my brother. As soon as I hear his name, I smile! »
