Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, the first NBA player to reportedly test positive for COVID-19 and who drew the ire of numerous people when the league initially suspended the season, says he is still not fully recovered more than three months after his original diagnosis.
Speaking with French outlet L'Equipe last week, the All-Star and two-time Defensive Player of the Year said of his condition, "The taste has returned, but the smell is still not 100 percent. I can smell the smells, but not from afar. I spoke to specialists, who told me that it could take up to a year."
Loss of taste and smell are among the symptoms of COVID-19.
