The recovery from invasive ankle surgery is not supposed to be easy. But Dion Waiters did not expect it to be this hard.
“Being honest. This s--- sucked,” Waiters when asked about his 11-month recovery from Jan. 22 surgery to repair instability and a preexisting navicular bone fracture in his left ankle.
“It sucked bad. Just every day, same thing over and over, you’re trying to get back, get your body right. It was grueling man. I’m not even going to lie to you and say it was easy. It was terrible, man.”
The good news for Waiters is the end looks near.
