Jared Sullinger was defiant when asked about being red-flagged due to an issue with his back.

“Yeah, my back is fine,” Sullinger said Thursday. “Nothing’s wrong with it. So my back is fine.

“I couldn’t care less [about slipping in mock drafts]. Like I said, half of y’all never played basketball a day in your life. Maybe an open gym around the [recreational] or something but never organized basketball. It is what it is. If I’m slipping, I’m slipping. That’s fine with me.”
