Killian Hayes, the seventh overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, is attempting to rebuild his career with the Brooklyn Nets after spending the previous season in the G League. Following a challenging year that included a hip injury, he has signed a 10-day contract with the Nets. Hayes reflects on this opportunity as a time of growth, expressing gratitude for the learning experience while dealing with injuries. He seeks to establish himself as a backup point guard for the Nets, filling a need in their roster after Ben Simmons' departure.
I mean, that's just God's plan, man. Injuries happen. That got in the way, and just going to Long Island, having that whole process and just learning curve and just adapting, and just thinking with it, working hard, and just keep believing my opportunity will come. And I'm just happy to be back here.
I'm very grateful for this opportunity. From the coaching staff to my brothers over there. It was a learning curve, and I'm just happy to be back here.
