(#24) Matt Bonner
- 39
Matt Bonner went through a rough stretch of games in 2015 while playing for the San Antonio Spurs. He blamed his poor shooting on a severe case of tennis elbow, which made taking shots extremely painful. The root cause of his tennis elbow: his new iPhone.
He explained, "Everybody is going to find this hilarious... When the new iPhone came out it was way bigger than the last one, and I think because I got that new phone it was a strain to use it, you have to stretch further to hit the buttons, and I honestly think that’s how I ended up developing it.”

Lakers coach Byron Scott said, "Steve, today, kind of hurt his back. He had a little bit of a setback, just kind of carrying some bags or something. He [felt] a twinge in his back."
