Boston Celtics forward Evan Fournier opened up on how difficult the road to recovery has been for him after he contracted COVID-19 last month. He was forced to sit out a couple of weeks in April in quarantine and admitted on Sunday that everything just feels a bit peculiar right now.
After their tough loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, Fournier didn't hide his frustrations (via Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports).
“I've been feeling really weird to be honest. I feel like I have a concussion. I feel a bit better, but it feels like everything is going too fast for me. Sometimes I struggle to focus and my depth perception is really bad right now.”
To say that this season has been challenging for the 28-year-old Fournier is definitely an understatement. After spending six and a half seasons with the Orlando Magic, he was traded to the Celtics in March. After just playing four games, he had to sit out the next couple of days due to the deadly virus, resulting in his recent struggles.
Although he scored 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting against the Trail Blazers, Fournier said his rocky stint with the Celtics has been “heartbreaking.”
“Timing is just unfortunate. People don't really know my game here. For the first time in my career, I have a chance to make a really deep run in the playoffs. Finally with a great team. That I got COVID and I'm feeling like this, it's heartbreaking to be honest.”

Through the years, Evan Fournier has proven to be a good two-player. It has been an up-and-down campaign for him this season, but the Celtics will surely need him for the NBA Playoffs.
