“It’s been tough sitting through these games, the heart-breaking losses, the terrific wins,” he said. “It’s been frustrating. It’s been up and down. It’s been topsy-turvy. It’s been all kinds of emotions mixed in one.

“But I’m starting to ride the (stationary) bike a little bit, doing some cardio and strengthening the muscle. And, hopefully, I’ll be back soon.”
