A myriad of top-flight players–the Miami Heat’s Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway, the Pheonix Suns’ Grant Hill, and Sam Bowie, the injury-prone stiff who was actually selected before a guy named Michael Jordan in the NBA Draft gaffe of a lifetime –to name a few, have seen their careers see-saw or go sledding downhill due to injury.

Posted on 17. Apr, 2007 by Zach Smart.

For head coach Danie Caro and the Quinnipiac women’s lacrosse team, it has morphed into a typical headliner of the season.
