  • Miller Says Parrom is ‘Fortunate to be Alive’

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Despite everything that’s happened to him in the last few days, Kevin Parrom is still flashing a sense of humor.

    He tweeted at Isaiah Thomas, “Idk what hurts more your shot that went in at the end of the game or the 1 i got this weekend smh lol”

    Thomas drained a buzzer beater last spring to lead Washington over Arizona in the Pac-10 championship game.

    In a development first reported Sunday night by SNY.tv, Parrom was shot over the weekend in the right leg in his mother’s home in The Bronx in an apparent dispute over a woman.

    No arrests have been made in the case, and Parrom has since flown back to Arizona from New York.

    “Thank you to everybody who reached out to me showing love i love all of yall for that !!! Now its all about recovering! Zona Where U At ?!” he tweeted.

    Parrom averaged 7.6 points and 3.4 rebounds last season for the Wildcats, who reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.

    “Kevin Parrom returned to Tucson last night [Monday],” Arizona coach Sean Miller said. “He will return to classes this week and also begin his rehabilitation process. We will know a lot more about his return to basketball activities in a month. At this time our focus is to provide him a comprehensive support system to allow him to progress to his full potential. Kevin, first and foremost, is fortunate to be alive.”
