Matt Barnes says his son had a really rough week… because not only did he get hit by a car, but he also needed emergency surgery for another problem!
The former Los Angeles Lakers player shared the news on Sunday morning… posting a photo of his son Zay lying on a hospital gurney — middle finger raised toward his father.
MB breaks down the week’s timeline… explaining that Zay was first hit by a car on Wednesday while running — a moment scary enough that many assumed it landed him in the hospital.
But it turns out Zay took the hit pretty well… playing in the Mamba League Invitational – a high school tournament created in Kobe Bryanthonor of — Friday.
That night, however, Barnes says Zay came to him and his mother with a terrible stomach pain. The two rushed him to the hospital, where Barnes says doctors performed emergency appendix surgery on what he adds one doctor called “the biggest appendix he’s ever seen that hadn’t ruptured.”
Barnes says his son is doing well now… and Zay also posted a photo of himself leaving the hospital today and saying he’s been released.
It looks like Zay will be okay, if a little exhausted at the end of a tough week.
