Javon Pickett would prefer to be playing basketball. The 2018 Missouri signee was supposed to spend this year after high school improving at Sunrise Christian Academy in Wichita.

But a torn labrum in his left shoulder derailed that plan, so he spends his days here at home, where he undergoes physical therapy and waits for medical clearance to practice.

In the weeks after undergoing surgery on his shoulder, he found a new passion. He loves the TV medical drama Grey’s Anatomy.

“I watched the first episode like two times in a row, trying to understand it,” Pickett said.
