Joel Berry II on Playing Injured Junior Season, 'I was Close to Calling It'

Posted Jun 5, 2020
"I was so close to calling it," Joel Berry said. "I laid there, and I realized it was actually my other ankle. I was like, 'I think this is it.' I was about to tell the coaches and trainer that I was going to call it and not play. But then something hit me, and I got up and started running again, and I felt fine. I was like, 'I can't give up on my teammates like that.'" (All Tar Heels)
