Danny Abdia answered questions today (Friday) at a press conference held at Zoom.
The Israeli forward, who came out of the rotation and played only three minutes against Philadelphia, returned to it last night against Brooklyn when he played 23 minutes during which he scored 13 points and added 5 rebounds.
Abdia referred, among other things, to the minutes he receives, the way he works and his conduct, his young teammates, his coach's health condition and also the compliments he received from team star Bradley Bill.
"I've been in situations like this before," Abdia said, referring to the small number of minutes against the Sixers.
"When that happens I try to stay positive - whether to train to keep fit, whether to lift weights. It's important to stay ready at all times. I played three minutes against Philly, I put that aside, then in the game that came I was ready - and I played. "Stay professional, fight for your minutes and give everything you have."

On the way he plays: "I think about every pass every time and look at the next move, how I can help the team in any way I can. It can be penetration and passing, shooting, keeping an opposing player. I'm not trying to do things I do not know. If "I get 5 minutes or 20, I just want to take it step by step. I'm always open to new ideas and want to learn."
On his coach Wes Ansald Jr. who is currently in solitary confinement after being verified to Corona: "I made a connection with him and he did it too. He cares a lot about the team and the players. He is very close to us and even if he is not with us we feel he is part of the team. And we'll get it back soon. "
"It's significant to me that a player at that level trusts me."

On the young players, Abdia said: "I think the young guys on our team are physically and mentally ready to play in the NBA. Smart players and have a work ethic. I really enjoy playing with them and hope we do great things together."
On the compliments he received from Bradley Bill: "It is very significant for me that a player at this level says such things about me and trusts me. I hope to be part of this team also in the future and that we can achieve great things together. I hope to stay humble and work hard and everything will be fine."
