Michigan State's Malik Hall copes with anguish of father's mental illness amid coronavirus lockdown

Malik Hall is like most athletes these days.

Back home in Montgomery, Illinois, roughly 45 miles west of Chicago, Hall is doing his best to keep things as normal as possible. He spends the mornings doing school work and then works out either around the house or gets time alone in a local gym. After that, the rest of the day is spent more time than even he is comfortable with playing video games.

“I mean, honestly,” Hall said, “I’ve played a lot of Xbox. Probably more than I should.”

He’s doing his best to adapt amid the coronavirus pandemic.
