Edmond Sumner has been back in the gym in recent weeks — after his honeymoon in Bora Bora, part of French Polynesia in the South Pacific. He’s been doing things other players have been doing, working on his handle, his defense, his shot, but he’s also been finishing up his rehab from a ruptured achilles tendon that kept him out all of last year.

“Up and down” appears to be going five-on-five. When Sumner was signed back in early July (to a partially guaranteed deal), Burton had said that while the 26-year-old had impressed the Nets with his explosiveness during a June workout, he had yet to go full speed five-on-five.
