Glen Davis – Boston Celtics
When you’ve got a nickname like “Big Baby,” no one believes you when you cry wolf. But that all changed for Davis during a 2010 playoff game, he went up for a rebound and collided with a few players, landing hard on his head. The ref carried on the play despite the fact that Davis was still on the ground. A minute later Davis got back up, wobbled around the court and landed into the arms of the referee, who immediately called a time out. It came out that Davis had suffered a concussion and eventually he did return but was never the same.

Dean Ashton – West Ham United
Dean Ashton was easily the greatest forward the English Premier League had seen for some time. His career was spent playing for Crewe Alexandra, Norwich City and West Ham United, and then he got the grand opportunity to play for the national club, England. While Ashton became a legend at West Ham United, he was also playing for England, but it was during an England game that he sustained a serious ankle injury, forcing him to miss an entire season with West Ham. After recovery, he did attempt a couple comebacks but had to retire at only 26.
