Thunder guard Terrance Ferguson didn't see a drop-off in his defense when he returned from an ankle sprain that sidelined him for over a week. If anything, he improved.
“I think sometimes things can slow down a little for you,” OKC coach Billy Donovan said after practice Tuesday. “Obviously you never want to see a player get down or injured. But here Terrance is playing some time, and then all of a sudden you're in a different situation where you're not getting prepared to play, but you're actually preparing to watch. And you can learn a lot of different things from going through something like that.
