Curry talked to Scott Fowler of the Charlotte Observer, and he described how his family was handling the pandemic, as they live on different coasts in the United States. Curry initially described a recent health scare that surprised him.
On March 25th, Curry told Fowler that he woke up with a 103-degree temperature, a similar symptom that ESPN’s sideline reporter Doris Burke experienced. Curry further described his symptoms and stated that he had “no energy.”
Following the notice of his symptoms, Curry decided to get tested for COVID-19, where he waited about five days to get the results back. During this time, Curry even had to visit the hospital due to an elevated heart rate.
Thankfully, Dell Curry’s results came back negative, and he was already over the symptoms that he experienced. Since experiencing this health scare, Curry told Fowler, “I have felt like myself again for about a week now.”
Following Curry’s thoughts on his experience, he and Fowler began to discuss Hornets basketball. Curry told Fowler that he thinks the Hornets’ biggest need at the moment is a rim protector, – “someone in the middle who could run the floor and get on the glass.”
Curry’s thoughts about the Hornets’ roster are extremely welcomed, as he spent ten seasons playing for the team. During his time with the Hornets, he averaged 14.0 points and 2.9 rebounds per game.
More news about the league’s hiatus of the regular season should come soon since the initial thirty-day suspension has almost come to an end. Will the Hornets get to finish their regular-season schedule?
