Marcus Smart in CNN interview: ‘I feel like I can go play a game right now’

Celtics guard Marcus Smart said on CNN Friday night he is still asymptomatic after testing positive for COVID-19.

“I feel great,” Smart told host Chris Cuomo. “I feel fine. I feel like I can go play a game right now.”

Smart, who publicly shared his test results Thursday evening, said he was surprised when he first learned the news. The 26-year-old noted he has self-quarantined since the Celtics returned from Milwaukee a day after the league suspended play indefinitely.

“When they told me I had [coronavirus], I was like, ‘Oh wow,'” Smart said.
