This has been a year to remember in sports for some of the memories that it has created, but a year to forget for those who have suffered serious injuries.
From Brooklyn Nets guard Caris LeVert suffering an ankle injury reminiscent to that of Kevin Ware’s, Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Hamidou Diallo having his leg bent all the way back in an awkward fall, UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton taking a helmet to the knee and Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith suffering a Joe Theismann-like leg injury, 2018 has been the year of the gruesome injury.
Severe injuries, such as the ones mentioned above and other commonly occurring season-ending injuries, such as a torn ACL or UCL, have occurred at an alarming rate so far this year.
