Wes Matthews gives a heart-felt message on his injury

Posted by on Mar 7, 2015 14:44

Portland was dealt a huge blow when guard Wesley Matthews injured his Achilles heel. That injury will put him out for the rest of the season. Now Portland will have to march on without the sharp-shooting guard, leaving Wes feeling down, yet optimistic.

Matthews took to his Instagram and left a heart-felt message to his fans, his thoughts on the injury and more.

I would be lying if I did not admit to having tears fall down my face this morning because I was hoping to just be waking up from a bad dream. I’m sorry this response took this long but none of it felt real, and to be honest, it still doesn’t. My season is over and my will, my heart, my faith and my strength will now be tested, which is a challenge I welcome. Though my season is over, #ripcity’s season is far from over! And I will be there ‘till the end! As I read through all the messages via text and Twitter, I was in awe. I was in shock and disbelief not only because of the injury, but because I never could have imagined how many people could be genuinely hurt, sad and upset for me. To my coaches- thank you; to my brothers and teammates- thank you; to my fans and #ripcity- thank you; to my family and friends- thank you! Like most of my life, a challenge has been placed in front of me—a challenge that will be nothing but another chapter in my story. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE, SUPPOR T & PRAYERS. See you on the court next season. #arrowlife out. -Ironman
