Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) Executive Director Guy Morse was injured in a fall on Friday, February 1, requiring bilateral quadriceps surgery to repair ruptured tendons in both legs.

His recovery will take several weeks, and he has elected to maintain an aggressive treatment program for prostate cancer while he rehabilitates from the surgery.

Currently, he is rehabilitating at an in-patient center in Boston, and will likely move to an out-patient residence later this week. Resuming daily mobility will likely not occur until late March.
