Utah Jazz All-Star forward Donovan Mitchell says he feels ZERO signs of the coronavirus days after testing positive for the infection.
Last week Mitchell became the second NBA player to test positive for the coronavirus after his teammate, Rudy Gobert was the first player to test positive.
The 23-year-old Mitchell, who is in isolation, says he feels healthy and raring to play.
“Got no fever, no symptoms as of right now and just blessed to be okay,” Mitchell says. “Right now, the biggest thing for me is to just stay in isolation and just keep to myself.”
“I keep making the joke when people keep asking me that if you were to tell me that I would play in a 7-game series tomorrow, I’d be ready to lace up.”
Last week Mitchell took to Instagram to confirm his health status; “Thanks to everyone who has been reaching out since hearing the news about my positive test.”
“We are all learning more about the seriousness of this situation and hopefully people can continue to educate themselves and realize that they need to behave responsibly both for their own health and for the well being of those around them.”
“I appreciate the authorities in Oklahoma who were helpful with the testing process and everyone from the @utahjazz who have been so supportive.”
“I am going to keep following the advice of our medical staff and hope that we can all come together and be there for each other and our neighbors who need our help.”
