Hal v. Stice: playing on the swollen ankle

The chronic ankle is out here in the match, strapped and visible: Hal plays "with his left shoe's upper bulging distended around his AirStirrup brace." The injury isn't a reason not to play; it's just equipment now, braced and stuffed into the shoe and taken onto court. The body performs at full anatomical resolution with its failure point buckled into a splint.
