AUSTIN, Texas — AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Even when his whole body ached just to walk, and everywhere he went meant taking along a chemotherapy bag attached to a tube going straight into his body, Andrew Jones had a goal: Get back to basketball.
That included a mission to dunk, which took about two weeks or three weeks and was celebrated with a video on social media.
"I never knew if I would dunk again. When I was finally able to flush a dunk easy, I thought, 'OK, maybe I'll be able to make a stronger comeback,'" Jones said Wednesday, nearly 11 months after he was first diagnosed with leukemia and had to leave the team for treatment last season.
