CHARLOTTE, N.C. – It was a game day for the Nets, so DeAndre Jordan was in his professional cocoon, staying totally off social media. When two reporters approached him before the game against the Hornets Friday night, he was caught off guard when asked about the Knicks firing head coach David Fizdale.
Jordan spent the last half of last season on the Knicks playing under Fizdale, and he was taken aback by the news. “That sucks,” Jordan said with a little emotion.
