Jalen Johnson

Jalen, how would you describe the bond that was in this locker room?

I mean, tight.

It's probably not even probably the tightest locker room I've had in my six years.

So just looking to continue to build that.

But I mean, there's some lifelong relationships that have been built.

And I know we're going to continue to stay tight as a unit.

What did you think about the game, Jalen?

So initially, I tore my adductor.

So it's like with all those things kind of connected from the adductor going into the pelvic and then the core going into the pelvic.

Once you kind of tear one, you kind of more likely going to tear the other one.

So in Detroit, I end up tearing pretty much the core apart.

of that connection.

And then, naturally, I had some damage leaking to my other side.

So, I really got both sides repaired, groin and core.

Yeah.

I mean, as far as, like, my surgery and injury go, but it's, like, the rehab is almost never ending, almost, for about a year.

Because, I mean, all the scar tissue builds up.

And being in the position that I'm in, sliding, moving lateral, it's like you're breaking it all up.

So it's been tough on me, honestly, because it's like when you know you can't move how you normally move, you start overcompensating.

Now your mind is messed up, and now you're like, man, do I got it?
