Creighton forward Martin Krampelj suffered his third anterior cruciate ligament tear last season but is ready for the upcoming basketball season on the horizon.
Coming back from one ACL injury is typical for an athlete. Coming back from three is almost unheard of.
After landing awkwardly on a teammate’s foot in the Seton Hall game last year on Jan. 17, Krampelj never questioned his return to basketball.
“I love basketball,” Krampelj said. “I love what I do, and that’s what I’m going to keep doing.”
A typical ACL injury recovery spans from six to nine months.
