On Sunday, Devin Booker revealed he tested positive for COVID-19.
“Honestly, y’all, I’m feeling straight. The only thing I’m dealing with is no taste, no smell, which is the worst part of it,” the athlete, 24, said in a video. “I’m about a week in. I’mma be back in no time, no time. … Having no smell, no taste, it makes your day dry. It makes your day gray. It makes it gray, for real.”
The Pheonix Suns player then noted that he’s going to keep his vaccination status private.
“I’m not gonna tell you guys if I have the vaccine or not, but you could still get COVID with the vaccine, for anybody that’s saying that,” Booker told his followers at the time. “Educate yourself.”
The two-time All-Star is currently taking part in the NBA’s health and safety protocols and missed media day as well as miss the start of training camp on Tuesday.
The Suns’ preseason kicks off on Oct. 4 with a game against the Sacramento Kings, and the first regular-season game is set for Oct. 20 versus the Denver Nuggets.
Over the summer, Booker won his first gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
