Phoenix Suns center Frank Kaminsky will soon be heading back to Wisconsin, where he had a prestigious college career in which he was named a consensus first-team All-American and helped his team reach two Final Fours. But bigger responsibilities lie ahead than representing his former university.
Kaminsky is likely to receive more playing time in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night after Suns forward Dario Saric tore his ACL in his right knee in Game 1 on Tuesday.
Kaminsky has not played more than seven minutes in a contest since the Suns’ Game 5 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, when they won by 30 points.
