Thanks for everyone’s thoughts and prayers and I’m doing the same for everyone that’s been effected by this. Stay safe and stay together- apart!
Much love!
Smart announced March 19 that he had tested positive for the coronavirus but was symptom-free and quarantining. He was one of 15 members of NBA organizations to be confirmed to have contracted the illness and is now the fourth to have recovered.
Utah Jazz teammates Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell were cleared of the virus Friday, while the agent for the Detroit Pistons' Christian Wood said his client has fully recovered.
