TNT reporter draws an ‘X’ on his foot to explain a basketball injury


Ricky O'Donnell has covered basketball at all levels for more than a decade at SB Nation. He’s currently the Associate Director of Programming.
Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley is playing through pain in his right foot in the playoffs. Conley said it felt like “walking on a golf ball” days before dropping 16 points in 24 minutes in a Game 1 win for Memphis.
That doesn’t mean the pain has gone away. Conley is still playing hurt, and TNT’s Lewis Johnson went to great lengths to explain it. X marks the spot where it hurts!
We appreciate Johnson’s dedication to his job, but America probably would have gotten the point even if Johnson kept his shoes and socks on. A man’s foot is in pain -- we get it.
