TJ Warren: I can provide teams experience, crazy work ethic and a veteran presence
What can you provide an NBA team now? TJ Warren: I think I can provide experience, a crazy work ethic, and be somebody that comes in and goes hard at all levels. I can connect with the young guys and be a veteran presence. This will be my 10th season, so I’ve been around for a while. I feel like I’m a lead-by-example type of guy.

More on this storyline
Are there specific teams you think you can help now? If so, who and why? TJ Warren: There are a lot of teams that can use bench scoring for sure. I watch the NBA every day, and I’m watching to see where I can see myself helping playoff teams get over the hump and be a presence on both ends of the floor. I take pride in being a two-way player. I know a lot of people doubt my defensive ability because I score easily. I take pride on both ends of the floor. There are definitely a lot of playoff teams I can contribute to and make an impact. -via HoopsHype / November 24, 2023
What would you say to any executives who have concerns about your past injuries? TJ Warren: I’m 100 percent healthy now. The foot injuries were a part of my career during those two years. I feel like I was reaching a crazy pinnacle right around the bubble. It was a great situation. Unfortunately, I had the injuries, and it set me back a little bit. I want to go out there and prove myself like I always have my whole career, being kind of under the radar. I feel like my production speaks for itself. I understand the concerns because two years was a long time, especially when you don’t know the situation thoroughly, but I’m completely healthy now and looking forward to the opportunity to prove myself again. -via HoopsHype / November 24, 2023
What does it say about you that you returned after that layoff with Brooklyn? TJ Warren: It says I persevered through it. Adversity happens. It doesn’t define you. At the end of the day, it’s all about how you bounce back from it. I feel like I bounced back from it, and a lot of people didn’t think I’d be able to play again. I proved those people wrong, and I want to continue to prove people wrong. -via HoopsHype / November 24, 2023
