Third time's charm for Manning's knee
THURSDAY, JAN. 28TH 7-9 P.M. ALDERSON AUDITORIUM KANSAS UNION
The Associated Press
Danny Manning is coming back from his third torn anterior cruciate ligament, his third reconstructive surgery, his third excruciating rehabilitation.
"I've never heard of anyone that's still playing who's done two, let alone three." Phoenix Suns coach Danny Ainge said.
PHOENIX — One severe knee injury can endanger a career. A second one, and you're almost certainly through.
Manning was college basketball's player of the year while leading Kansas to the 1988 national championship and was the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. Then, in his rookie season with the Los Angeles Clippers, the first serious knee injury occurred, followed by another in 1995 and a third last April.
refuses to feel sorry for himself.
Yet Manning, 32 years old and entering his 11th NBA season.
"I'm not jinxed," he said. "If anything, I think I'm paving the way for other athletes who blow their
knees out one or two or three times, showing it can be done.
He tore his right ACL in a game against Milwaukee in 1989 and missed 56 games.
In February of 1995, his first season with Phoenix, he tore his left
ACL in practice. He played in just 46 games that year and 83 the next.
Manning: Takes pride in his comeback
Relegated to a reserve role in 1996-97, Manning averaged 13.5 points a game. Last year, he averaged 13.5 points and 5.6 rebounds
Manning won the Sixth Man Award as the league's top reserve, and one day after receiving the trophy underwent surgery again.
off the bench before his right ACL sn. apped in a game against Sacramento on April 7.
"The lockout work wonDERs for me," he said. "It allowed me to do a lot of extra work in the weight room and come out on the court and get a feel for it again. I played last season. I missed the playoffs.
"I was finally getting back to playing the way I want to play," he said. "That doesn't have anything to do with the leg. It had to do with confidence and just getting out on the court and getting a feel for it again. That was the most upsetting part."
Through the summer and fall, there were long hours in Manning's weight room at home. By late fall, he was back on the basket ball court, but the NBA wasn't.
but I'm back for training camp. It just seems like a regular season."
So far, Manning has looked as good as ever.
"The first time I blew my knee out, it was career-threatening. The second time there was no way someone could come back from two. The third time it's 'He doesn't have a chance,'" Manning said.
"Every time I've proven people wrong. Hopefully, I won't have to do it again, but it's the hand I've been dealt, and I just have to play it."
Manning he expects to play as many minutes as he did a year ago, and he takes quiet pride in yet another comeback.
"Danny looks wonderful," teammate Jason Kidd said. "Danny looks like someone who hasn't had a knee injury. He's running up and down the floor, dunking the ball. He's doing everything Danny has done in the past."
