Before Friday’s game against the Chicago Bulls, Al-Farouq Aminu was on the Amway Center floor alone with Mike Batiste. All the other players, all playing in the game, had finished their pregame routines. It was just Al-Farouq Aminu, a coach and the basket.
There is a lot of solitude that comes from getting back from an injury. A lot of lonely days going through drills trying to get your body right.
