Re: Nassir Little: It’s possible to play w/ a torn shoulder (glenoid) labrum but it requires routine maintenance to address any lingering symptoms & strengthening of the surrounding muscles to assist w/ stability. – 2:54 PM

Hate seeing Nassir Little (shoulder) go down. Just recorded a pod with @DrewDinkmeyer and said Nassir was one of the most improved players to not get much national love. He’s been so good at off-ball scoring, offensive rebounding for a wing, and so many facets of defenses. – 2:37 PM
