De’ron Davis came into this season having endured a tougher past year than any other Hoosier, spending his time rehabbing from a torn Achilles tendon in January, 2018.
The Achilles tear is thought by many to be the worst injury a basketball player can sustain in terms of recovery and future limitations.
However, after shaking off the rust in the first few games, Davis’ skill and size made him a key member for the Hoosiers during a tumultuous season. He couldn’t quite shake the injury bug fully though, missing five games with minor injuries like a sprained ankle and illness.
