Stefan Bondy's post on Brooklyn Nets | Latest updates on Sulia

Mirza Teletovic, a star when he played in Europe, is inactive again tonight. What does he think about not playing?

"This is my first year in the NBA so I need the time to adjust to some stuff, and Avery has given me time," he said. But don't you need time on the court? "Not really, you just have to be with the team and see what they do and pick it up." What has been the biggest adjustment? "I can’t really specify one thing. There are a lot of things, like the basketball is faster, much faster. Once you get in you have to be ready to play and give the team you best you can. I just need a little bit more time to get all the things settled in my head." Is this tough not playing? "No. Not really. ...For me the most important thing is to just stay in shape and be ready once my name is called."
