    You're at 14 months now since. Are you fully cleared? 100%? Yeah. Any concerns for the season at all at this point? No, no, no, no. I saw a report that was like, sources tell me Tyrese will be healthy. I am the source. I can tell you I am healthy right now. So I feel great. I'm doing everything. Playing pickup pretty regularly at this point. So I feel great. I will be ready for the season. If the season was today, I'd be ready. So yeah, I can't come fast enough.

So I'm really looking forward to it. I think they're both great additions, and yeah, it's going to be fun. So what do you think of the size in the athletic?
