On Saturday, news broke of 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall being shot in the chest after an attempted robbery for his Rolex. Everyone waited in fear for an update on his condition and whether or not it was life-threatening.

Now, on Sunday, the 49ers released an update stating that Pearsall has been released from the hospital and will continue to recover from the injury.

“San Franciso 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was released from the hospital this afternoon as he continues to recover from a bullet wound to his chest,” the statement said. “He and his family, along with the entire San Francisco 49ers organization, would like to thank the San Francisco Police Department, emergency medical services, doctors and staff at San Francisco General Hospital.”

Luckily, this was likely the best-case scenario for the whole situation. Especially considering how lethal a bullet wound to the chest could be.

During the altercation, the robber revealed he had a gun as he was trying to steal the Rolex Pearsall had. There was a grapple from both for the gun, which ended up getting both of them shot.

The Bullet Went Throgh Ricky Pearsall’s Chest And Out His Back

Soon after Pearsall was taken to the hospital, his mother shared an extremely shocking update about the true nature of the injury. She claimed that the bullets went through his chest and exited his back.

“He was shot in the chest and it exited out his back,” she wrote. “Thanks be to GOD it missed his vital organs. He is in good spirits right now. Life is so precious my friends. Please love each other. My son was spared today by the grade of GOD. Please pray for my baby.”

Not only is Pearsall lucky not to have sustained a major life-changing injury, but he’s lucky to still be alive.

The 2024 Paris Olympics was Stephen Curry’s first ever appearance in the Paris Olympics. The Golden State Warriors star poured so much athleticism into his first appearance on the international stage that caught everyone’s attention, including popular NBA analyst Skip Bayless.

After Team USA’s 98-87 victory over France in the Olympics final, LeBron James was crowned with the MVP title of the tournament. Soon after that, Bayless stirred controversy by posting on social media that LeBron should not win the MVP title. Rather, the sports analyst sees Curry as the real winner of the title.

“I’M SORRY, NOW THERE’S NO WAY LEBRON IS MVP. IT HAS TO BE STEPH. 17 THREES IN THE SEMI AND THE FINAL. WE WOULD NOT HAVE WON EITHER WITHOUT HIM,” Bayless wrote in an X post.

Curry scored 24 points in the final game against France. With his outstanding shooting skills, the Warriors star hit eight three-pointers, three of which came in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. On the other hand, James contributed 14 points and 10 assists and shot an impressive 60% from the field.
