At times, Kellan Grady looked like one of the best shooters in Kentucky Basketball history. In February, he was even on pace to break the Kentucky single-season three-point record. In the win over Alabama on Feb. 19, Grady tied a career-high with seven threes; the rest of the season (seven games), he only made six more. Turns out he was dealing with a lot more than fans knew.
On Kentucky Sports Radio this morning, Grady opened up about his plantar fasciitis, a condition that causes pain on the bottom of the heel. Being the mature 24-year-old he is, Grady refused to pin all of his end-of-season struggles on plantar fasciitis but admitted it impacted his performance.
