Hey Jordan!!

Big Laker fan from Ireland!
I wanted to ask you about your injury.
I am 19 and have played basketball since i was 9 at almost every level in Ireland from u11 to Superleague (Irish top Division) and Internationally U15 an U18 for Ireland.
This year I reached a level good enough to play in the Superleague, which was a great achievement.
At the age of 14 I had serious injury, slipped disc, which limited my ability to play for about 4 years on and off.

This season in Nov. during a game I tore the lateral meniscus in my left knee. I had an operation to repair it a week later and am currently in the rehabilitation stage. When I heard you had the exact same injury and that you would be on the court again in 8 weeks I was amazed. It also gave me a big boost of confidence and hope, that I will be able to play at a competitive level again. My recovery time is 13 weeks, hoping to be on the court again sometime in March.

I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give me, from recovering from the same injury and returning to the same if not better level of play. And staying motivated during this time on the sidelines.
Do you have any tips on exercise or rehab that will see me recover just as “YOU WILL”?

I would love to hear from you, and your progress!
Good luck with the recovery, and the Season!

Yours in basketball
Mike Lacey
