After shootaround on Saturday, Crowder said he was somewhat surprised by his DNP-CD on Monday, but he understands that with this team, playing time is going to be fluid and often will come down to who has a hot hand or how a matchup looks on paper.

“It’s over with though,” Crowder said. “I’m moving on. He’s moving on.

“It’s tough. I can’t sit here and say it’s not tough. But at the same time, I kind of expected it being a rookie, so I tried to prepare myself as much as possible. But it’s hard to prepare for it because you’ve never been through it.”
