Kevin Durant is thankful he has recovered from the coronavirus after being one of several NBA players to contract the illness in March.
Durant gave The Washington Post an update on how he’s doing since recovering from COVID-19.
“I’m alive,” he told the newspaper. “That's it. That's all I can tell you. I'm good. The unknown is always scary, but I had a lot of support. I knew if I needed anything, I could call someone. [As a society], we still haven't figured this whole thing out.”
