Last January Isaiah Canaan suffered a fractured ankle during a game that left himself, his teammates and the fans in shock. Fast-forward to Friday night, Canaan was back on the court for the first time as the Suns tipped-off against the Portland Trail Blazers.
“It’s just a blessing,” Canaan said. “It’s all the hard work you put in and just to be able to step foot back out there and actually play, it’s a lot of emotions.”
The Suns staff informed Canaan that he would be suiting up and playing in his first NBA action in over eight months and just the thought had him anxious to get back out there.
