Following a career-high performance against the Atlanta Hawks, Portland Trail Blazers’ guard Anfernee Simons made one thing abundantly clear in his walkoff interview: this game was dedicated to Jake Carter, his grandfather. Simons lost Carter to pancreatic cancer on Sunday. According to Jason Quick of the Athletic, Simons had the fortune to be able to spend time with his grandfather this last weekend prior to his passing. Tameka Simons told Quick she believed it was fate that allowed Simons to come home to Florida after testing positive for coronavirus, then negative. Two negative tests are required to exit NBA protocols.
