Evan Fournier: Reps with Boston Celtics needed with COVID-19 bout in rearview mirror

Celtics guard Evan Fournier struggled Friday night in his first game since recovering from COVID-19, missing all seven shots he took in 22 minutes of Boston's 109-104 loss to the Eastern Conference-leading Brooklyn Nets in New York.

Fournier, who hadn't played since April 4, talked afterward about the difficulty he had battling through the virus, which caused him to miss nine games.

"My experience -- where do I start? The first two days I was doing great, no symptoms at all, and then flu-like symptoms, high fever, really tired, fatigue, all that," Fournier said.
