Rhode Island G Jarvis Garrett broke his jaw and only missed one game. That in itself is an absolute miracle, but the thing is he is playing well- he’s averaging nearly 20 points and is shooting over 50% from the field with the broken jaw.
If I were Garrett I would play this up while he can. It’s an instant sensation and if he can play into the character, he could make himself famous. Rip Hamilton was a very good basketball player, but the kids always knew him because of the mask.

Props to Garrett for toughing it out- I was out a week when I got my wisdom teeth taken out and I barely have to move.
