The documentary provides viewers with a behind-the-scenes look at Derrick’s recovery in many previously hidden aspects of his life like his closest friends and family. Fans will be able to get closer to their favorite’s privacy and stay in touch with him as he recovers. Exclusive video content, product and other engagement activities will support the documentary.

“Everyone can participate to drive the comeback of the player that has redefined the game since entering the league. Fans can get inside access at the adidas Basketball Facebook page and join The Return @adidasHoops on Twitter with #TheReturn,” says adidas.
