\"Bennedict\u201cWhen you think about it, last season, I was the arm in a sling, to bring cookies on the plane. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em> Bennedict Mathurin<\/strong> recalls his spring 2024. Operated with a tear of the labrum of the right shoulder in March, he had missed the playoffs, so the good journey of his teammates to the conference final.<\/p>\n

Inevitably a painful memory. “This is what I did”<\/em>, he continues<\/a> On his story of cakes. “But now I'm here. Everything I wanted to do last season, I can do it from now on. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

This series against the Bucks will also be his first career playoffs, he who was drafted in 2022, and their role will be to erase the spring 2024 spent at the infirmary, to experience his rehabilitation after his operation.<\/p>\n

The perfect decor for this big competitor<\/h3>\n

\u201cLast year, it's very clear. I remember every day \u201d<\/em>he specifies. \u201cI have a calendar of everything I did on a daily basis. While the guys were training, I was cycling. I could only shoot with my left hand and, believe me, I ended up having pain in my left hand since it is the only thing I could do. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Bennedict Mathurin therefore has a small revenge to take and an appetite for ogre to be satisfied. The Pacers winger likes hot moments and nothing better for that than playoffs. \u201cI am a big, big competitor. Sometimes too much. <\/em>There, it is playing back to the wall and that's where I am the most motivated \u201d, <\/em>he assures. \u201cThis is the moment that I dream of all my life. Growing up, I wanted to play the playoffs. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

His teammate Aaron Nesmith is moreover \u00ab\u00a0impatient\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> to see it at this level of competition. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe lives for moments like these. He likes big shoots, great moments. His presence on the field, at the end of the game and during this series, will be enormous for us. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
