In the 13th year of his pro career, Henry Walker's longevity is a testament to his fierce determination.
Speaking a few weeks before Thanksgiving, a quintessential American holiday, the Shiga Lakestars forward expressed gratitude for the chance to keep plying his craft despite numerous injury setbacks over the years.
Walker has endured six knee surgeries. He's torn the anterior cruciate ligament in both knees. He suffered major knee injuries in high school and college and during a pre-draft workout with the Golden State Warriors in '08. And he no longer has knee cartilage known as meniscus.
