On January 5th, Lonnie Walker IV returned from a 17-game absence with a left hamstring strain. At the morning shootaround, he discussed the usual: the rehab process, what it meant to sit on the sidelines, etc. But Walker also clarified what he was most looking forward to about the Brooklyn Nets’ upcoming international adventure.
“I’ve never been to Paris, so I’m taking my father with me. I think that’s a pretty dope moment. We haven’t been — we haven’t flown overseas or gone anywhere in [a long time],” said Walker.
On Wednesday, following Brooklyn’s second practice of the trip, I headed over to Sonny’s Pizzeria, where the Nets had sponsored takeover of the Parisian pizza joint.
