Asia Durr Cleared for WNBA Return After Two-Year COVID-19 Absence

Liberty guard Asia Durr announced Monday she has been cleared to return to the court after missing the last two seasons with long haul effects of COVID-19.

Durr, 24, logged 18 games as a rookie in 2019. She has previously not been able to play basketball since June 2020, suffering bouts of fatigue, vertigo and difficulty breathing after contracting COVID-19.

"I went through all of the testing, and guess what?," Durr said Monday. "I'm able to play basketball again."

The No. 2 pick in the 2019 WNBA draft detailed her experience with COVID-19 in an interview on HBO's Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel in January 2021.
