Spinal cord injury
On January 20, 2021, Bradley was struck from behind by a motorist while riding his bicycle near his home in
St. George, Utah, which resulted in a traumatic
spinal cord injury in his neck that left him
paralyzed.
[38] Bradley was in the process of passing a car parked on the shoulder of the road when he drifted in front of a minivan who bumped him from behind; the driver of that vehicle was not charged with a crime.

In a 2022 interview with
Sports Illustrated, Bradley stated that he and his family intend to move into a more wheelchair-friendly home in
Dallas, Texas, while he continues his rehabilitation. Bradley described his height as a "hindrance" to his recovery, as
quadriplegia at his height has no medical precedent.
