Wizney World Blog: The first gameday experience

Good evening,

Today was quite something.

Let me start by saying this: it was beyond incredible to watch live basketball in person today. Yes, it was just a meaningless scrimmage game. But wow, it was therapeutic.

I left the team hotel at 12:15 P.M. along with assistant equipment manager Dave Avery, head athletic trainer Jeff Bangs, and our NBA liaison Daniel Feinberg. Dave had to set up the locker room, while Jeff had to get the training room ready. I wanted to get there as early as possible to check out the HP Field House, considering I had never been there and did not know where I would be sitting or be able to access during the game.
