Coach Green's Pregame Quotes

On Brandon Ingram’s injury:

“I don’t know if it was a specific moment, but he definitely aggravated it a bit, so he’s out tonight.”

On Zion Williamson’s progression and if he has been cleared for 5-on-5 play:

“He’s playing against the coaches, and some of our guys will jump in. He’s playing in more of a controlled scrimmage, and that’s where he has progressed to. Past that, there’s no update on him. He is where he is.

The beauty in it is to get to see him on the floor. I think he’s feeling more normal due to the fact that he gets to play basketball. That’s what he wants to do, and that’s what he loves to do. We just want him to get as healthy as he can and progress in that way.”
