Jock Landale is suiting up for the Hawks tonight in Charlotte, even with a confirmed nasal fracture. Yeah, you read that right. The man has a broken nose and he’s still hitting the court.
He Took a Shot But Stayed In The Fight
This isn’t just some minor bump either. Landale took a serious hit to the face in the game against Orlando on Wednesday. It looked rough, but did he come out? Nope. He ended up staying in that game, battling through whatever pain he was feeling right then. That’s pure warrior mentality.
A Fracture Can’t Keep Him Out
Now, just a couple of days later, the Hawks announced the official nasal fracture. But here’s the kicker, the absolute gutsy move: he’s still available to play tonight. This isn’t just “tough,” this is next-level commitment. It’s October 23, and Landale is already showing what he’s made of in this early part of the season.
So, when the Hawks hit the floor in Charlotte tonight, keep an eye on Jock Landale. Playing through a broken nose is a statement. He’s showing everyone he’s ready to go, no matter what. That kind of heart can absolutely fire up a team.
