Thompson addressed the issue of Nunnally’s injury which shocked fans around Europe. Even if the player avoided the worst case scenario, the images of him being on the floor were spine-chilling.
“What happened to my teammate James Nunnally last week is something you don’t really want to experience. I have played for 10 years and have been through similar situations. In fact, I went through a similar situation in college and I was telling him, too, when I talked to him and everything was good. I got low-bridged on a dunk and landed on my neck. I kind of didn’t remember and they had to wake me up with smelling salts or something like that. I remember I took a shower to try to see if I could still play. They were asking me questions and they told me I got all of them wrong. Obviously, this was an unfortunate accident. I am glad that everything is okay. Just for him to be able to be good and active is a blessing. Our thoughts and prayers are for him, wishing him a speedy recovery. Something like this is very unfortunate, but we are blessed to try to become stronger players and learn from these incidents in our lives”.
