A year ago Thursday, guard Isaiah Canaan suffered one of the most gruesome injuries you can while playing basketball — a fractured ankle.
While playing for Phoenix, Canaan went up for a layup and landed awkwardly, as his left leg bent in an unnatural position. Nearly a year later, Canaan said he’s thankful to be playing again, as he is expected to take the floor Wednesday night against Memphis after signing a 10-day contract with the Timberwolves.
“With everything I went through this past year, I’m just blessed to be out there, being able to play again at a high level and just blessed with opportunities,” Canaan said Wednesday.
