Spencer Johnson has explained that he will need to “manage” the toe injury that kept him out of the Brisbane Heat’s opening 2 games but a standout 4fa in his return.
Johnson suffered the unique injury playing for SA in the Sheffield Shield on the eve of the BBL, before missing his side’s first 2 games.
“I snapped my tendon in a Shield game about a month ago, and to be honest, we still don’t really know how it’s happened, or why it’s happened,” Johnson said.
“It’s such a bizarre injury. Four surgeons have looked at it, four sports doctors have looked at it, and they’re all mind blown.
“I think we just manage it and look after it and hopefully it will be all good. We’ve come up with a decent method to strap it, and hopefully that should be right for the rest of the season.”
Brisbane lost to Perth on Boxing Day and will back up on Sunday against the Adelaide Strikers at the Gabba.
On the management of the injury, Johnson added: “It is such a bizarre thing, I could wake up tomorrow and it could be all right.
“It felt really good out there today, and we’re looking after it, we’ll manage it. I missed a couple of games, but hopefully it will be all right.”
