As Sean Durzi was preparing for his draft season in the summer of 2016, he noticed something wasn’t right with his ankle. With his ability to train hampered, he sought medical advice, and was told it was a minor issue that would heal itself with time. Just before the season was set to start, and the situation not improving, it was finally discovered that he had an extra bone in his ankle, and surgery was required to remove it.
Because of the procedure, he missed the start of the season, and wasn’t the same player he had been as a rookie the year before.
