Dallas Walton had been through it before. Twice before, actually. If anyone has ever been perfectly suited to face the trials that come with rebounding from a torn ACL, it's Walton.
Walton understood this as well. He'd done it before. Whether he had it in his heart to do it again was another question altogether.
On Oct. 16 the 7-foot Walton suffered a torn ACL in his right knee that ended his 2018-19 season with the Colorado men's basketball team before it began. Walton, a redshirt sophomore, suffered the same injury twice in his left knee at Arvada West High School.
