Iman Shumpert details ‘tough’ process of staying ready while staying safe

Shumpert, who lives in Atlanta, described the struggle of finding places to work out while balancing short time frames available. The 30-year-old said it was a “tough” process that was time-consuming and a daily challenge.
“It was tough. I was driving about 45 minutes to an hour to get into a gym. I was lifting at another gym so about 15-20 minutes from there and then I was driving over to Georgia Tech to get treatment, which is probably another hour,” Shumpert told reporters Monday.
