Asia Durr tests Positive for COVID-19

From Twitter:

"After much thought and consultation with my doctors and the Liberty, I have decided not to play the 2020 WNBA season. After testing positive for COVID-19 on June 8th, my battle with it has been complicated and arduous. As I continue to fight to fully recover, I had to make the difficult decision on a deadline to opt out as a medical high risk player. So much about this virus is unknown and my heart is heavy, even as i make this decision that I know is best for my long term wellness. I want to thank my teammates, the Liberty organization, our fans and my partners for their compassion. I plan to stay connected to my team virtually and support them on the court and in their efforts around social justice and activism from the bubble however I can. I hope you will do the same."

This is sad, stunning and sorrowful news about one of Louisville's best of all time. I know you share my sadness and I sincerely hope she'll recover fully and be able to return to what she loves.

This will be almost two seasons out, half of last year due to injury and now this. Best wishes from CardNation!

One of the greatest moments in UL Sports was the return of Asia to the Yum Center to participate in her brother’s senior night activities as a student manager.

Asia is the real thing.

Prayers for Asia. It’s tough to be a competitor and be kept out of the game, but it is a wise decision.
