Arizona women’s basketball head coach Adia Barnes shared an update on her health with fans and friends via social media on Thursday morning. The coach’s illness, which began on Monday, is a kidney infection that caused her to spike a very high fever. She was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday evening.
“I’m actually okay,” Barnes said on Thursday.
In a video titled “Operation LET ME SLEEP PLEASE!!,” Barnes said that she almost wished she had COVID again instead of the kidney infection because of the fever she was experiencing. The coach was diagnosed with COVID-19 in December of 2021.
