I want to thank everyone who has my back because of all the uncertainty.
“This has been incredibly frustrating, but even in bad there is good. The way in which fans continued to appear for me, and for the fever brought me so much joy and important perspective. I am so proud of how this team has only become stronger through adversity this year. Now it is time to close the season and to claim our place in the playoffs.”
