12 years ago Wednesday, Warriors guard Shaun Livingston went under the knife.
Then a high-flying phenom with the Los Angeles Clippers, Livingston underwent surgery to repair tears to the ACL, PCL, MCL and meniscus in his left knee, plus dislocation of his patella, tibia and femur. There were questions whether or not he would walk again, let alone play in the NBA.
Yet, here he is, playing 15 minutes a night for the defending champions over a decade later.
"It's like a gift and a curse," Livingston told the Los Angeles Times last year.
