QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• James Wiseman: “It’s just a preseason game... I'm just gonna keep working anyways. It doesn't matter.”
• Wiseman on the Japanese crowd and a reminder he hasn't ever played an NBA game in front of a crowd: “It’s a great culture up here...also it's my first game ever having a crowd (pandemic year and injuries).”
• Patrick Baldwin, Jr. on the crowd: “It was a ‘Man, basketball’s a beautiful sport’ moment.”
• On his chemistry with Donte DiVincenzo: “Throughout the summer we was working out a lot...all the young players...for two months.”
• Baldwin on his chemistry with Ryan Rollins: “... we're both kinda in the same boat, just building chemistry through workouts and spending time with each other off the court. To see it come to fruition with our first bucket and first assist was pretty special. He's a guy that has a bright future and I'm looking forward to it.”
• Wiseman asked by Japanese reporter a question about being patient with the veterans around, James looked like he was about to answer the question before the interpreter was going to translate the question for him: “The people is just great, very polite.”
• Kerith Burke asking if Wiseman still has any butterflies: “Yes, of course, because it was my first game out of two years...just play my game and be myself...wasn't trying to do something that was outside my boundaries. Just keep the game simple.”
• On any pregame advice from the veterans, Wiseman: “Win...get better as a team,” and Baldwin: “Just be yourself.”
• On any advice with injuries from Anfernee Hardaway: “It’s hard especially getting injured at a young age, but I have that resilience in my DNA. It's in my character so I will never give up on myself and I have God on my side...Faith over fear...Penny gave me a lot of information, just to keep on working.”
• Jordan Poole on Wiseman: “I want to say it was my second season before he got hurt, we were building a really nice chemistry.”
• On when Poole knew he was starting in place of Klay: “I think the day before.”
• Poole makes a funny face per usual as he realizes there are no more questions.
