After being injured for the start of training camp, Dzanan Musa was so restless he couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning. But the Nets rookie can finally get some rest, after going through his first full practice Monday.
“I was so frustrated that I couldn’t sleep at night because I wasn’t practicing,” said Musa. “I was watching training camp, and the guys were fighting, the coaches were all-in, the intensity and stuff, and I was on the bench watching. That was so hard for me. But I’m happy that I’m here.”
The 19-year-old Musa, who suffered a right ankle injury last month playing for Bosnia in FIBA action, was unsure if the Nets would ease him in slowly as a teenaged rookie who’d missed much of camp.
