Luke Brown actually considers the moment during a game in June when he nearly sustained a pelvic stress fracture helpful, now, in the journey he's been on.
He had been hit in the air while attempting a layup, and the force with which he fell on his back shocked his body to the point he suffered what he’s since called a stress reaction.
But it wouldn’t be until mid-October that his moment of clarity would come. That wouldn’t arrive until after Brown played through the pain in July during AAU competitions so he could have more exposure with college coaches, and after attempts that began in August to treat it while not completely shutting down failed.
