“It’s going well, especially these last couple of weeks. I’ve started to actually feel like myself again, my old self, so it’s been quite a while since I’ve played competitive basketball.
“The first couple of weeks, I was pretty down on myself, just rusty. You know, I haven’t played in a while. I’m the kind of person, I expect to go out there and be great right away. But these last couple of weeks, I’ve been feeling really good and my body’s feeling really good and I’m starting to slowly get back into a good rhythm.”
Fredrick told KSR he expects to play in the Bahamas.
