Rick explained that Kevin’s leg was broken in two places, and that he would have to wait at least a year before stepping back onto the court.

“Basically the bone popped out of the skin. It broke in two spots. It will take a year to come back,” the coach explained. During the interview Rick proved why he’s such a great coach, as he was upbeat and inspirational even in the face of this horrific injury. “He’ll come back better than ever,” Rick added.

Rick continued, insisting that Kevin was courageous and the ultimate team player, even though his leg was in shambles. “All he kept saying – and remember the bone is six inches out of his leg — and all he’s yelling is ‘win the game, win the game.’ I’ve never seen that in my life.”
