It was December of 2017 when Andrew Jones missed four games because of a wrist injury. The Texas sophomore returned for two more games splitting the New Year holiday and then just days later Jones was out again.
Many suspected Jones re-injured his wrist, but Smart said that wasn’t the case.
But that was the only answer Smart had. He wasn’t sure what was wrong with Jones because know one knew. He told media members that Jones wasn’t feeling like himself and was lacking energy. Six days later Jones announced he was diagnosed with leukemia.
Hopefully you’ve never had leukemia and hopefully you never known someone impacted by the disease.
