I am sitting about 8 feet behind Fred Hoiberg, who just left the floor and went back to the locker room with an illness. This is not optimal.

The team is being slowly released, not all at once. So they haven’t all left the locker room yet. This according to security outside the locker room.

Again, we have no indication as to what is wrong with Hoiberg. Until we know more, we will hold any opinions. As soon as we have more information, I will update this blog.
