Now that the Hawks star is injured, he had something to say about it after the match.

“It’s sore right now. It’s hurting, it’s frustrating. All I can do right now is get treatment. I couldn’t really go as fast as I wanted to, whenever I did, it hurt. So, just gotta get treated, and hopefully, I feel better before the next game.”
