Twenty-year-old Michigan State University student John Hao is recovering at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Michigan, after being paralyzed from the chest down during the tragic mass shooting that left three dead and five others injured on the school’s campus on Feb. 13.
From here in Philadelphia, James Harden heard about Hao’s situation and that the recovering young man is a big fan of the Sixers star.
“There’s things like that, where you sit back and think about just real life and things bigger than basketball,” Harden told reporters after the Sixers’ 110-105 home win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night.
