Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder said he's dealt with personal issues going into the season as he had his first practice Wednesday.
"Just personal problems," Crowder said after practice. "I had some stuff I had to handle personally that I need to take care of. It took me a while just to get that behind me. I had some stuff to handle and I'm thankful for my coaching staff and the whole organization for working with me on that and being patient with that."
Crowder also confirmed he hasn't tested positive for COVID-19 as he had his first Zoom media call since joining the Suns on a three-year, $30-million deal.
