Anyone who’s had a major knee injury will tell you that half of the recovery process is mental. Alex Poythress looked good during Tuesday’s Blue/White scrimmage, but when he hit the floor during a fast break, I think everyone held their breath. Thankfully, he was fine and popped right back up. To Marcus Lee, that’s just another sign Alex is starting to “forget” about his injury.
“Alex is definitely a confident player right now. He’s getting used to injury no longer being there,” Lee told reporters this afternoon. “You can definitely see sometimes where he’ll forget he’s ever been injured and he’ll jump out of the gym like he usually does and after he does, he’ll kind of have like a surprised face like he forgot how powerful he really is.
