Manny Malhotra’s Injury Brings Life Perspective

Malhotra did not “lose” his eye. But it’s unknown if he’ll regain sight, or, if he does, how long it will take or how much vision he’ll have. All of it sounds grave, but it’s going to take some time to fully understand the severity. It could be weeks. That makes any speculation unfair. So is the injury itself, Torres said.

“Things like this shouldn’t happen to guys like him,” Torres said. “It’s tough to see it happen to someone who is so honourable to the game.

“He is a first-class individual who brings a different level of professionalism from anyone I’ve seen. He has been that way since the day we met.”
