What the hell happened to Kendrick Nunn?

[Hoodwink]

Went from being a starting guard and a finalist for rookie of the year to not even playing a single minute in the playoffs against an injured Pacers squad. Something rotten happen behind the scenes?

Lost confidence mostly. Spo is not afraid to bench anybody if it means helping the team

Meyers started most of the year at center and hasn't played in the bubble yet

Honestly, Heat is so much better with Dragon. Its impressive that Spo gave him a chance and discovered Nunn, but hes just not a point guard, no point guard skills.

This is why heat organization is so great: team over individual people

Still doesn't make sense. Where could he have lost his confidence? He scored 23 points in the last RS game.
Is it a matchup thing?

They just talked about it about 30 minutes ago on the TNT broadcast. Nunn had COVID and was symptomatic. He's cleared to play now but hasn't had any practice time. But Spo is high on him and says they will definitely need him later in the postseason whether it be this series or the next one.

UcanUwill put it nicely.

I will say though that maybe Covid did more to him than I originally thought.

Hasn’t seemed to have bounced back from Covid...
