During a discussion withReuben Frankof NBC Sports Philadelphia, he revealed two of his family members and a close family friend were diagnosed with the coronavirus and two of them died:

"Three aunts got it, two passed. One of them was my dad's sister, she got better, so we were thankful for that. Two of them … one was my grandma's sister on my dad's side and she passed and my dad's friend's wife, who was like an auntie to me, she passed, and she was a close friend of the family and that was really tough because she went from talking to us every day to one day later she was gone.
