It is evident that Malik is nowhere close to healthy; clearly he could not jump, and he seemed to struggle with his lateral movement. If it is atrophy in his thigh as reported, that could strengthen over time, but his defensive presence inside was non-existent.

There you go to. Exactly what I heard all night. He kept his eye on him for quite sometime trying to figure it out and asking why they were keeping him in there. We did see Malik telling coach, I’m ready, get me in. Malik just wants to compete and injures are his enemy.

He was better after he came back in the 2nd half. Looked like it's a pain threshold kind of thing. Early in the game he tries to get by but when he feels he's needed to help the team, he tries to play through the pain. That's what it looked like to me.

He is a team leader and we are fortunate to have him back. I like Wheeler and look to see him get some of Malik’s minutes.
