I’m grateful for them and for everything that they’ve done for me,” he said. “They’ve been very respectful to me throughout this whole thing.”</p><p>If the deal pushes through, he would be providing much-needed firepower to a Grand Slam-seeking squad that is thin in their backcourt, as their lead guards Rey Nambatac and Jayson Castro are dealing with their respective injuries.</p><p>“They’ve proven that they can win championships,” he said. “Having won back-to-back conferences, hopefully, I can get myself into shape so that I can help them as soon as possible.”</p><p>However, Heading, who has yet to officially get in touch with TNT, is first focusing on his own recovery.</p><p>“I have to get in contact with them. I’m not sure what the plan is right now,” Heading shared. “I have been doing non-contact things. I’m trying to do whatever I can to get back out on the court faster. We’ll just continue to assess the situation and try not to rush things.”</p><p>“Whether [my return] is this conference or next conference, we’ll see, but it’s exciting to go to a club with so much history,” he furthered.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u1qEkX6eLtE?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span></div>
