TL;DR
Scott Perry acknowledged the team's struggles this season but highlighted that key players missed significant time. DeMar DeRozan praised the team's resilience during his exit meeting, noting they never broke despite the challenges faced.
Scott Perry: Did the year go the way any of us wanted it to go in terms of wins and losses? Of course not. But I don’t think you can ignore the amount of time missed by such key players. When you add Hunter in there after the deadline, those are four of your top six scorers on your roster. And so, that’s difficult to make up for. But in terms of their mindset, their approach, and their attitude, that was the one thing. As a matter of fact, DeMar DeRozan made that comment to me during his exit meeting, just saying through all the difficulty — some of the losses and things this year — the group never broke. They stayed together. And you could kind of see that. Again, I think that was a testament to Doug and his ability to have the same energy coming the next day to practice, regardless of what had transpired the night before.”
