The day before Edmond Sumner’s wedding, he was in the gym, working out and rehabbing his torn Achilles tendon.
The day before flying to Bora Bora for his South Pacific honeymoon? He was back again, putting in that sweat equity in an Indiana gym.ended their sorry 2021-22 season vowing to get back to their gritty identity and work ethic, and one thing is crystal clear: Their new guard fits the bill.
For Sumner, it’s just about making sure those Nets fans get a chance to love him. He was waived shortly after being acquired by the Nets in an October trade with the Pacers, and he had not suited up for Brooklyn. He rejoined the team on a two-year $4.2 million free-agent contract in July. But of his $1.9 million salary this season, only $250,000 is guaranteed and just $500,000 on Opening Night. The second year is non-guaranteed.On a roster rife with injury concerns, Sumner is one. Sumner, T.J.
By February, Sumner was dunking again. And in June, despite not being able to go 5-on-5 — his strength as an open-court player — he had enough explosion to impress the Nets in a workout. And that explosion didn’t come easily. Unfortunately for Sumner, he’s an experienced rehabber. He’d already dealt with tendinitis, a torn ACL and shoulder surgeries, the main reason he has logged just 108 NBA games in five years.
