Yesterday my favorite basketball team played a Euroleague game against Olympiacos. We lost but something even worse happened in that game. A former player of my favorite team is now in Olympiacos. He was not able to play basketball for very long time(500+ days I believe) due to injury. Few days ago he returned to the basketball court in Greece domestic league. He played well and it seemed that his injuries are a thing of the past. But yesterday he had to play his first game in Euroleague after that long absence. He played for a few minutes and then got injured again. Torn achilles... So he will once again miss the rest of the season. I been more or less in a good physical health all my time so I can't imagine how Keenan Evans must feel right now. But most insane fact is not that he got injured again. I think that it is really cruel twist of fate that he got injured after playing just a few minutes after his return. This makes me glad that I am not an athlete. Sure I will probably never get millions of eur but at least I will also probably not ruin my health that quickly. As for Keenan Evans he was a great player and helped my favorite team a lot in the past. Still now I think that taking him back to our team in the future would be way too risky. At least as a first or second option. Besides I still hope that we will manage to keep Sylvain Francisco(our current star player). So I hope that Keenan Evans will find happiness and success outside of basketball court because inside of it something is clearly going wrong...
