CHICAGO — Hobbling around on crutches at the Harrison Street Athletic Facility for the NBA draft combine, Alex Len spotted his name on a placard, maneuvered over to a folding chair and gently sat down. Len has gotten used to moving around with the assistance of walking aids in recent weeks, but he admits that the initial transition was a trying ordeal.
“I have blisters on both hands,” Len said, revealing the two dime-sized, prune-colored bruises on his palms.
