On NETS.COM, Ben Couch writes "Yi Jianlian has had 10 days off, but after a 13-hour flight to the United States, a sleepless night and his first practice, he's a little tired. 'I feel I'm able to take a breath now,' Yi said. 'I was preparing for the Olympics for a long time. (I've) had enough time to recover and get back to 100 percent.' The Nets are banking on a healthy Yi, who's likely to start the season at power forward after coming over with Bobby Simmons in the deal that shipped away Richard Jefferson. Last season, Yi averaged 8.6 points and 5.2 rebounds in 25 minutes per game for Milwaukee."
