...from Warriors practice, day before Atlanta Hawks. QUOTES:
- on the mentality of being injured: "It’s as close to 100% as can be...Mentally, any time you're dealing with injuries, that's the hardest thing to overcome. Boredom, monotony, frustration, all of that stuff that comes with being out, not playing, not doing the thing that you love to do on a daily basis. Just trying to stay positive."
- ankle status right now: ""I'm feeling good. I've had a good two weeks of rehab. I've taken a patient approach to trying to get as close to 100% as possible...When I wake up in the morning, I know the difference between my right and my left, but that's won't stop me from being who I am...When it comes to me just being the player I want to be, doing the moves I want to do, making the cuts that I want to make and stuff like that -- I can do all of that stuff right now."
- on his ankle not being completely 100% right now: "If you're being really nitpicky, it's definitely not 100%. There's nothing that's going to happen between now and the end of June that's going to change that."
- on if he needs any procedures done on his ankle during the summer: "I don't think so. I'm not really in that mode to think about that right now, but I don't think so."
- on Carolina Panthers ownership process: “still ongoing.”
