Deon Thomas suffers serious injury
Suffering what Haaretz called a freak training accident, Deon Thomas, the all-time leading scorer in Illinois Basketball history, may have seen his pro career come to an end. The Jerusalem Post said a loud cracking sound was heard as Thomas landed after jumping for a rebound and his left shin broke into two. According to the Euroleague official website, Thomas broke his leg so severely in practice that he was to undergo an operation later Wednesday night. No word on the Internet yet on how that surgery went. Our thoughts and prayers here at Illini Wonk are with Deon.
