NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Take Nate Davis into the sun for a practice and he’s a faucet with the spigot turned all the way on.
He could be assigned a practice-field patch to water.
“I would definitely say the crown is mine,” Davis said. “It’ll be the first period and I’m already soaked like I just jumped in a pool.”
Recovery takes quite a while. He drinks as much as he can, but it’s really impossible for him to take in as much as he loses. So his cool-down features an IV that helps offset his daily practice weight loss. Monday for the 6-foot-3, 314-pound guard, that was 13 pounds.
