Krstic Cleared to Play
Nenad Krstic’s work visa has been approved, allowing the Thunder’s 7-foot center to now play in games. Thunder coach Scott Brooks didn’t say whether Krstic will play Tuesday against New York or Wednesday against Minnesota, but Krstic is expected to be in uniform.
Brooks has said since the team signed Krstic on Dec. 30 that he will not rush him into action, preferring instead to allow Krstic time to learn the playbook and his new teammates.
Brooks and Thunder players, however, have praised Krstic in recent days for how fast he’s picked up the system and how well he’s blended in thus far.
“He’s still blending in,” Brooks said. “He’s doing a good job of fitting in, and the guys are doing a good job of accepting the way he plays.
“He’s a good piece for us. He knows how to play. I keep saying that. He’s a smart player. He makes good decisions with the ball. He’s not just a shooter. He can be a playmaker at his spot.”
