Rashard Kelly didn't sing from his balcony in Italy, but he did enjoy the now-familiar scene. Italians, locked down by COVID-19, played music and sang from their apartments to lift spirits.
"It was something we looked forward to," Kelly said. "Same time, every day. It helped the time go by faster."
Kelly is one of many former Wichita State athletes playing professionally overseas now in suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kelly, who played men's basketball from 2014-18, was with Aquila Basket Trento in Trento, Italy. He came back to the United States earlier this week to start a 14-day quarantine.
