Kris Dunn Has Recovered From Summer League Concussion

Aug 12, 2016 10:28 AM

Kris Dunn has recovered from a concussion he sustained during Summer League in July.

“I feel great. I’m back on court. I’m just working to get better for training camp, but I’m definitely back,” said Dunn on Thursday.

Dunn was the fifth overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Dunn was asked about his expectations on whether he'll start or come off the bench.

“Just like any other time, when you’re coming from 8th grade to freshman year, you just want to prove yourself and work hard. Same thing when you’re going from high school to college,” Dunn said. “Whatever happens, happens. If I’m a starter or not a starter, I’m going to do whatever the coach needs me to do. I’m just here to learn.”
