Tatum still dealing with after-effects of COVID-19 had three months ago, using inhaler before games
“I for sure feel better now than I did a month ago.”
Jayson Tatum said that he is still dealing with the after-effects of testing positive for COVID-19 three months ago, and has been using an inhaler before games as a means to combat them.
Per ESPN, "Close," he said, after scoring 32 points, along with nine rebounds and five assists, in a 116-115 Boston victory in Portland, when asked whether he’s back to 100 percent post-COVID. "Very close.
"It’s a process. It takes a long time. I take an inhaler before the game since I’ve tested positive. This has kind of helped with that and opened up my lungs, and, you know, I never took an inhaler before. So that’s something different.
"I for sure feel better now than I did a month ago."
He added that he isn’t sure how long he’s going to have to use the inhaler, saying it will be until he feels good enough to play without it.
"There’s no exact timetable," Tatum said. "[It’s] just when I feel comfortable enough and I think I don’t need it."
