In no time, fans united to wish Perkins a speedy recovery.

Kendrick Perkins recalls the incident that resulted in his latest injury

The NBA is known for its giants. With such tremendous physicality comes a heightened risk of injury. This is what happened with the 6’10” Celtics center Kendrick Perkins. He recently underwent surgery for a ruptured chord muscle. On September 30th, he posted a tweet informing his supporters, whom he frequently refers to as “Good People,” about the incident that caused the injury.

He posted a video on Twitter and said “I was walking in a Petco about a month ago and my big behind slipped and fell in the Petco and tore my chord muscle.” He added that the place got crowded and he asked them to call the paramedics. Then he shared a funny incident after the fall. His wife rushed to him and the first thing she said was, “Yo big dumba*s would fall outside the store”. Then came the iconic Perk laugh.
