Mark Daigneault: What Happened

Fans on r/nba on Reddit were talking about this on Sunday, October 25, 2026. Here is the post:

More from Daigneault during the postgame presser on how they move forward from here: “I think it starts with just getting everybody and regrouping in a situation like that, especially when it’s ugly like that, which is what we’ll focus on first before we move on to anything else. We’ll come in tomorrow, we’ll get everybody together and we’ll have more information for the team at that time. I know they’ll be hungry to know how he’s doing and stuff like that, and then we’ll move from there. But, at this point, you’ve just got to allow yourself to feel the way you do.”
