 Preseason action between the Brooklynettes and the Miami Heat. Hello everyone. I am Megan Triplett. An exciting storyline going into the night is Joe Harris. Even though he's not in the starting lineup tonight, Nets fans are excited about getting him back this season. Joe missed 68 games last season due to two ankle surgeries, but Joe is excited to be back for his seventh season. I recently sat down with Joe and I asked him about what he went through during that time with his injury, mentally and physically. Yeah, I mean it's a difficult time. I think a lot of guys that play for a while or just athletes in general, you know, it's something that a lot of us experience where, you know, there is moments of adversity where you have to deal with difficult injuries that require longer rehabs. And I think, you know, for me, I still tried to stay as engaged as I could with the team, even though I knew that I wasn't going to be able to play, but I still wanted to just be around the guys, offer input when I could and just kind of, you know, be around the group and experiencing that sort of just competitive aspect where you don't necessarily get that in your everyday life. And even though I'm not actually out competing and playing, I still feel the energy being around the guys in practice and the games. And, you know, that was really the only thing that kind of kept me sane during that time of being out. And you said this is going to be your seventh season with the Brooklyn Nets. Has it hit you that you're the longest tenured guy out there? I mean, you know, it's definitely one of those things where I'm lucky to be able to be a part of an organization for this long because I know that doesn't happen all that often. And, you know, I've seen a lot of swings through this organization. But the one thing that's definitely remained constant since I've been here is just always having a good group of people within the organization, from the players to the support staff, performance staff, coaches, front office. It's always high character, quality people.
