UNC Asheville basketball player, Kenny George, has returned to Chicago after spending 3 months in hospital. Kenny developed a MRSA infection in his right foot and consequently had to undergo surgery to amputate part of it.

The basketball player was released from a hospital in Des Moines, Iowa, on 20th November 2008 and is back in Chicago. He hopes to return to school in January to continue working on his degree.

According to Asheville coach Eddie Biedenbach: “To my knowledge, the infection is completely gone”.
