The final word inquiring about a specific piece of equipment hadn’t fully rolled off the questioner’s tongue and Du0101vis Bertu0101ns already knew how to describe what it’s like to play with a facemask.
“Since I don’t dribble the ball so much, it doesn’t really bother me,” the Charlotte Hornets veteran forward said. “The rim is still in the same place it’s been for years.”
Bertu0101ns, dealing with a nasal fracture suffered last month, can apparently still see easily through the mask. Although he wasn’t as hot Wednesday night as he’s been recently, posting just six points in the Hornets’ 115-114 win over Atlanta at State Farm Arena, Bertu0101ns’ contributions since joining the team can’t be discredited.
