Sam Merrill, a two time Mountain West Conference Champion and NBA Champion joined The Full Court Press on 106.9 The FAN recently to talk about his recent ankle surgery. The surgery was needed due to what he called a “series of chronic ankle sprains” all on the same ankle and the most recent coming in November of 2021. The surgery was to get a bone spur removed and ligaments reconstructed on both sides of his ankle, something that he said is “pretty rare.” It’s about a four to five month rehab, and he is staying in Memphis for rehab.
