If you’re reading this, you’ve probably heard the news: John Wall, the Washington Wizards’ dynamic All-Star point guard, has five non-displaced fractures in his left wrist and hand, the team announced on Thursday.
For those readers who don’t have context here, let me translate: That’s unusually bad.
“How do you get FIVE nondisplaced fractures?” radiologist Pradheep Shanker asked on Twitter. “I’ve literally seen people have cars drive over them with less damage.”
“I’ve heard of one or two wrist fractures being hard to pick up on X-Ray or MRI but 5?!?!” added athletic trainer Jeff Stotts.
