They made it sound like it was some huge deal but my ER doc buddy says they do these several times a week from car wrecks.
Of course the kid went to Methodist (just a few blocks from the stadium) where they got famous patching together race car drivers.
oh, it’s routine now to a point, but this is the same injury Joe Theisman had that ended his career - and the technology was not available then. And then again, it’s one thing for a 55 yr old dude to play golf after a car wreck...salvaging an NBA career is another thing altogether....
