"I wasn't good enough. Obviously we didn't win, so you could say all the things you want to say. I'm proud of myself, yes, but at the end of the day we didn't win the game. It's a bad loss for us and hopefully we get the next one."
"Strus entered Sunday's game with 4:53 remaining in the first quarter. He made a pair of 3-pointers from the left wing in his first 75 seconds on the court. Strus scored 16 points in the first half. According to Elias Sports Bureau, he is the first player since 1997-98 to score at least 15 points in the first half of a season debut after not playing in at least the first 60 games of the season."
"It was hard to not play, to not be out there with my teammates for that long. I didn't expect it to be that long, but it was. Everybody telling me I need to be more positive. So still going to try to be myself, but understand and be grateful for a lot of things and being grateful to be happy."
