“[UK Basketball trainer] Geoff [Stanton] gave me a little vibrating machine for my back,” Quickley said, assuring reporters he was not injured. “It was just some new technology that he let me try out. It vibrates, heat, all in one, so I put it on while I’m on the bench.”
Hyperice’s Venom Back belt retails for $249 and is used commonly in the NBA. Quickley said Stanton put the belt on him before the game as well, which could help explain his quick start. In the first four minutes of the game, Quickley scored seven points, got a rebound, and made an assist.
