LaPhonso Ellis – Denver Nuggets
LaPhonso Ellis may not be the most commonly known NBA player, but he did have a pretty solid season early on. After a stress fracture in his right knee, he was benched for most of his third season. Ellis did attempt a comeback, but he was never the same. Later on in his career, after a hernia and another knee injury, Ellis retired in 2003.

Jonathan Bender – Indiana Pacers
At 7-0 and weighing in at 230 pounds, Bender was quite a rare athlete. Sadly enough, his career after the 2001-2002 season wasn’t what he hoped, as he played in just 46 games. The season after was even worse as he played just 21 games. However, he was plagued with knee injuries that he just couldn’t ignore anymore.
