Doug McDermott says the Pacers are "hungry" as they prepare to head for Orlando to resume the NBA season. He also says he improved his culinary skills during the lockdown after moving back in with his parents, which seems a fitting combination for a guy who's likely to have an enhanced role with the team.
More worldly matters are calling, however, and McDermott spoke out on those during a Zoom call with media members on Wednesday.
As one of three American white players on the Pacers' roster along with T.J. McConnell and TJ Leaf, and one of a small number in the league, McDermott expressed his support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
