The worry and the pressure over school and his dad are getting to Hazard until one day, the fuse sets off and the repercussions have him benched for six games and assigned to go to therapy. Which is where his dad is as well, at Walter Reed Medical Center, because he's home nowwell, most of him. Hazard's dad's now learning to walk with a prosthetic, but that's not his primary injury.
