LaVine has healed from right foot surgery, overcoming an injury that plagued him throughout last season before limiting him to 25 contests. Karnišovas, a former Seton Hall standout and Lithuanian national team member, expressed empathy for LaVine’s trying season, saying much of LaVine’s early struggles last season stemmed from an injured foot he did everything he could to play through. “Not being healthy and not being able to perform I think was very frustrating,” Karnišovas said. “And I think now he feels 100 percent.” -via New York Times / July 15, 2024
