Syracuse sophomore guard Howard Washington revealed that he suffered a stroke on Sept. 26 in a story published by Syracuse.com on Tuesday morning.
Washington, who had missed a significant portion of his freshman season after tearing his ACL, said that he suffered the stroke following a chemistry class.
"It felt like a movie," Washington said. "It felt like I was watching a movie, but I was the movie. I’m grasping to my life."
After being helped by a pair of classmates, Washington managed to contact team trainer Mike Pike.
