Pickup Basketball as an An1

Incoming analyst. As SA the lifestyle was ok, but I expect to be doing more as An1. That being said, I love playing basketball and definitely want to get a gym membership for the sole purpose of running pickup games. Also, working in non NYC so would need to drive 10-15 to a decent gym. I really would only want to go 1-2 times a week, schedule permitting.

How feasible is this with the analyst schedule? Anyone else try to work in a few games into their week?
