Q: You missed a month with a stress fracture in a vertebra in your lower back. How difficult was it to get your A-game back?

A: I came off the injury and I had to find my rhythm again. Before I got hurt, I felt really, really good about my game. I was playing really well, I thought. It takes about four or five games after an injury to get back on. That was how long it took before I was feeling good and on my game again. They've been playing me a lot and they have a lot of confidence in me. It's nice as a player when your coach has a lot of confidence in you.
