And I did.” -via ESPN / December 20, 2023

“Clearly I’ve been working laborious, nevertheless it’s nothing like NBA basketball, in order that’s just about simply doing the inhaler to attempt to get extra oxygen within the physique to have the ability to go on the market and ship,” Morant stated. “When I got back in at that eight-minute mark, they pretty much told me, ‘You’re not coming out.’ I just had to lock in and just push through. [That is] pretty much my life — just continuing to push no matter what.” -via ESPN / December 20, 2023
