Evan Fournier Says He Has Concussion-Like Symptoms Due to COVID-19

After the Celtics's 129–119 loss to the Trail Blazers on Sunday night, wing Evan Fournier told reporters that he's experiencing longterm effects from COVID-19.

"The thing is, I feel like I have a concussion," Fournier said. "Right now, it's actually doing a little bit better. But at first, the bright lights were bothering my eyes, my vision was blurry and everything was going too fast for me."

Fournier, who contracted the coronavirus in April, said he has been working with a doctor to try and get himself healthy again. He was traded from the Magic to the Celtics back in March in exchange for Jeff Teague and two future second-round picks.
