Hoping it's nothing serious and they both rest up. Glad they're off until Wednesday but still.
Jay King @ByJayKing yesterdayEvan Fournier said Brown and Tatum didn't seem particularly concerned with their injuries. Said he's guessing they're going to be good.
Mark Murphy @Murf56Fournier on his bout with COVID: "It’s a golden opportunity for me to finally be with a great team, and the fact I got COVID is heartbreaking, to be honest. That’s the hard part. You guys don’t know me yet, but I’m as mentally tough as it gets. I’ll get through that for sure.”
You wouldn't know it by his 8-10 shooting tonight, but Evan Fournier said COVID has most affected his depth perception.
Yikes. Depth perception tends to be a bit important for basketball.
"I've been feeling really weird, to be honest," Fournier said. "My plan was to stop talking about it so it might help me, but the thing is it's like I have a concussion. Right now it's actually doing a little bit better, but at first the bright lights were bothering my eyes and my vision was blurry."Everything was just going too fast for me. It's still the case. Some stuff is better, but at times I'm really struggling to focus and my eyes keep struggling focusing on one thing. My depth perception is really bad right now. But I saw a specialist and she gave me some exercises and hopefully it'll get better."Fournier, whom the Celtics acquired at the trade deadline using the trade exception generated when Gordon Hayward signed with the Charlotte Hornets in the offseason, said that while he wasn't 100 percent, the fact he was physically healthy meant he felt he needed to be on the court with his new teammates."I mean, that's the thing," Fournier said. "With this COVID thing, the truth is doctors and everyone, they really have no idea. It's so new. But the stuff that I'm feeling, apparently one-third of the people after COVID got those symptoms as well. So it's not an isolated case. But like I said, with time it's going to get better. Some people lost their taste of the food, and the smell. For me it's just my awareness and all that. It's a part of the senses. But it's going to get better. It's already slightly better. But I'm going to keep working. I can't just take games off or practices off because I'm not feeling well mentally. If my body's available I have to be available."

But no news is usually bad news with this team. Hopefully it's nothing too big. I'd suggest Brown should sit out Wednesday's game. Kemba needs to play, though.
