Head coach Tim Cone said the team is still sorting out its schedule with the players but revealed they already have a June 30 date as a tentative start for their Monday training schedule.

"We are going to have a Zoom with all the players on Monday to go over the practice schedules. We are trying to get some Monday practices before we actually come together," said Cone during his guesting with Power and Play with Noli Eala over the weekend.
