Basketball: Zipper after hern-op

Basketball international Paul Zipper has no close a year after his heavy brain surgery no exact timetable for a comeback.

Apart from the right contact training, a few things are missing now, but that's just a matter of time now, said the 27-year-old Forward of Bayern Munich in the Club Podcast Open Court.

In the former NBA professional Zipper, a noted brain tumor had been diagnosed at the brain stem in June after equilibrium problems. The following procedure described Zipper as quite delicate.

That was on the ear, on the small brain, a shitty place. A congenital malformation. There are simply several centers in the brain, which are responsible for different things. For me, it was the coordination, the whole right side was very affected from the beginning He said, The OP took a bit longer than actually planned. Because he (the operating doctor Prof. Dr. Bernhard Meyer, Note d. Red.) has tried to find really the smallest drop of blood somehow to find and get out

Since the surgery, his Zipser has lost all outstanding importance. Basketball has definitely become small for me, he said. At a complete recovery, Zipper does not doubt, I have never believed in it, not now, it could not come back to 100 percent.
