Liberty guard AD detailed their nearly two-year battle with COVID-19 to Sports Illustrated‘s Ben Pickman.
AD, the No. 2 pick in the 2019 WNBA draft, tested positive for COVID-19 in June 2020. AD thought that they would go through the 14-day quarantine and then go to the bubble with their New York teammates. Instead, AD’s battle with long-haul COVID-19 and its lingering side effects sidelined them for the 2020 and ’21 seasons. They also experienced an onslaught of physical symptoms.
“I was literally suffering every day. I felt I was dying,” AD told Pickman.
