Following an early-December COVID-19 diagnosis, Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little has yet to appear in a regular season game. In a conversation with The Athletic’s Jason Quick, Little detailed his battle with the virus.
Shortly after reporting to training camp, Little learned that he was among the Blazers’ personnel that tested positive for COVID-19. That positive test result was followed by an intense set of symptoms. In his discussion with Quick, Little described the process that eventually led to him losing 20 pounds in less than a month.
“For me, I was on the worst part of the spectrum, the hard end of the disease,” Little said.
