Teams around the league, especially those playing the Suns on the road, were paying extremely close attention to Chen Yu's whereabouts.
Upon learning that Chen Yu had returned to Phoenix, the Wolves, who were in town to challenge the Suns, arrived a day early. Then, head coach Philip Saunders brought two of his players to Chen Yu's clinic.
"Chen, it's not easy to get a meeting with you."
Philip Saunders started off with a joke.
Chen Yu didn't let the annoying business with Ma Long affect his mood. He smiled, gave Sanders a hug, and said, "The game hasn't even started. What brings you to me so soon?"
'Even if it's for maintenance and physical therapy, you'd usually wait until after the game, right?'
Sanders waved to the two men behind him, and the two unlucky souls walked over.
One of them was on crutches.
"What can I do? Robert can't fix them, so I had no choice but to ask for your help," Sanders said, frustrated.
Robert was the Wolves' team doctor.
