South East Melbourne Phoenix · 6 notes
Nathan Sobey played for South East Melbourne Phoenix despite last game's knee-on-knee knock or cork. Coach Josh King: "he did a really good job getting rehab." Angus Glover on cramping after a layup: "I couldn't really get the cramp out. But nah, I'm all good."
Daniel Foster was back for South East Melbourne Phoenix and got more minutes off the bench in the 32-point win over Cairns. Nathan Sobey said Foster set the tone for the group to start the game: "it was great to have him back out there for some more minutes."
Nathan Sobey was "definitely sore" after a knock that South East Melbourne Phoenix coach Josh King couldn't identify as knee-on-knee or a cork. King sent him back in so he wouldn't stiffen up and gave no status: "we'll have to see how he is moving forward."
Nathan Sobey admits his South East Melbourne Phoenix minutes are light: "Obviously I haven't played a whole ton of minutes so far this season." On ending the losing run against Illawarra: "We've been close the last few times... you can only keep saying that so many times."
Angus Glover on the heated last Phoenix game against Illawarra, his hometown team, where Nathan Sobey and William Hickey both got technical fouls: "Sobey is our best player, so I got to... be by his side, but at the same time try not to make sure he doesn't get ejected."
Nathan Sobey missed the first couple of games, and South East Melbourne Phoenix coach Josh King says the side is still finding its way. King puts it on shooting, not shot quality: "If we're shooting the ball like we were last year, we're 4-0 right now."
