Brown said on Friday that the whole week of training is doing better and focusing on more live repetitions of medical staff. He said he was ready to return to almost his old role, on average for more than 15 minutes to play.

“So I would definitely say it’s another perspective (since last week),” Brown Espn said. “I’m not sure about my percentage, but to be honest, I feel good, I feel better compared to last week.”

Brown acknowledged that he is not 100 percent. He admitted he was suppressed last weekend and thought about contact.

“It was definitely a thought – just a thought,” Brown said. “It is obvious that I am returning so quickly from such an injury. She definitely appeared on her head for the first time, but I feel like I got there, I think it was a deflection or something, and then I was just locked.

“I’m not trying to think about my injury or something, I’m just trying to keep the team on the same page and just go there and get the victory.”

Brown is 6-Naha-9, 222-Libra forward, whose value is devoted to its modest statistics-2.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. It is a key defensive chess piece for the dukes, because its ability to switch, protect more positions and deviates it into the disturbing strength and key role player.
