Full quote from Mike Woodson today on Jalen Hood-Schifino. Hood-Schifino has missed the last three games with a back injury.
"Well, today we're going to start him out on the floor and see if he can go practice. Last few days he's kind of shot around and done some things. He's moving around. So today we're going to let him bang a little bit and see where he is tomorrow. You got to be patient with it. Then I think the player itself will lead you in the direction that he wants to go.
"From a medical standpoint, I think he's fine in that regard. But, again, when you can't do the things that you're used to doing on the floor, move around like you normally do, that's a problem. That's what he was experiencing. The last few days he's been on the floor shooting, moving around. Got a good workout on our off day yesterday. So now we'll see can he handle the pounding a little bit today in practice, then see how he feels tomorrow."
