Sad stuff
his situation was so sad. he went through A LOT with his medical condition:
In 2011, while playing for the Florida Gators, Ball was diagnosed with the condition, which causes the brain’s blood vessels to get tangled and rupture. Ball told the
Oakland Raiders website in 2016 that he went to the medical staff at the school after he had trouble maintaining his balance. Ball said doctors told him that blood had trickled down to his spine as a result of the rupture.
Ball was placed in a medically induced coma in September 2018 at Emory Hospital in Atlanta after he suffered a brain aneurysm. His family said in a July 2019 statement that although Ball had woken from the coma, he was now a quadriplegic. His family launched a
GoFundMe page to help to
pay for his medical care in July 2019. At the time of writing, that page has raised $136,000.
