Spears: Festus Ezeli’s Road To Recovery
This article is crazy

The Undefeated recently spoke with Ezeli about the progress that he is making after undergoing cadaver ligament replacement surgery earlier this season.

The gravity of the situation isn’t lost on the 27-year-old big man, as he understands that there is a family associated with the cadaver ligament he received earlier this year.

“I’m actually working on my letter right now because I really do want to meet them,” Ezeli told The Undefeated this past week. “I have no clue who I got it from. It had to be a big person. There are so many different requirements to getting the cadaver. It was kind of crazy. It had to be a big person, about my weight and size, so that I could handle my weight as I play basketball. The person had to be young so it’s not brittle. And there’s all these different restrictions.

Ezeli expresses his gratitude, while also touching on the process of waiting for a donor to surface:

“It’s kind of crazy. You’re literally waiting for somebody to pass away. It’s the saddest thing. And I feel so blessed. I don’t know what the word is. For them to choose me, I’m just thankful. I don’t know any information. The hospitals are very tight-lipped on information about their patients. I’m just hoping that they contact me after they get my letter.”

Under the guidelines of his rehabilitation, Ezeli now spends the majority of his time off of his feet.
