Utah Jazz big man Rudy Gobert first tested positive for coronavirus in March. Three months later, Gobert hasn’t fully recovered.
Gobert, 28, told L’Equipe he hasn’t regained his sense of smell. HoopsHype translated the portion of the interview in which Gobert talks about his ability to smell things.
“The taste has returned, but the smell is still not 100%. I can smell the smells, but not from afar. I spoke to specialists, who told me that it could take up to a year.”
That’s not necessarily a major side effect, but it’s still concerning considering it’s been months since Gobert first tested positive.
