Adam Morrison
The Charlotte Bobcats drafted Adam Morrison in the 2006 NBA Draft as the 3rd overall pick. Quickly thereafter, he signed a two-year contract. In the beginning of the season, he was the starting small-forward but midway throughout the season, he lost his spot due to poor shooting (37%) and a lack of defense.
On October 21, 2007, the Charlotte Bobcats announced that Morrison had sustained a severe injury to his left knee in a pre-season exhibition game. He bent his knee laterally and a MRI revealed that he had torn his anterior cruciate ligament.
Almost one year later, after missing the entire last season, Morrison said in a recent interview that he is now able to play basketball again without a brace or pain. However, he still finds it challenging to change directions. “My explosion is not quite there, but that just takes time [since] I haven’t played 5-on-5 in 12 months,” he said.
