Friends and agent staged intervention for Jared Sullinger's conditioning

We called you here today because we're worried.

Everyone with eyes could tell that Jared Sullinger needed to get in better shape this summer. Danny Ainge specifically challenged him to work on his conditioning between the end of the season and training camp. It sounds like his agent and family decided to step in and give Jared yet another boost. They staged an intervention and they brought along John Lucas II to help.

"(Lucas) personally came down and he told me, ‘You’ve got all the talent in the world, but you’ve forgotten what working hard is,’ " Sullinger said yesterday.
