Tyler Zeller no longer worried about re-injuring wrist

Posted Mar 4, 2009
Tyler Zeller returned to the court 13 weeks after breaking his wrist and having a metal plate and 12 pins inserted inside his arm. And during his first practice back, he promptly fell on that fragile left wrist again. Hard. Needless to say, nervousness filled the air. “The coaches, they’re all just staring at me, like, ‘You alright?’” Zeller said. “I’m like, ‘I’m good.’ Coach Williams asked me like three times. But it wasn’t too bad.” (WRAL Sports Fan)
