Marcus Smart Cleared of COVID-19

To what shouldn’t be to anyone’s surprise, Marcus Smart’s immune system plays some solid defense.

Smart announced that he has been “corona free” since Friday in a tweet Sunday night. Smart added that the Massachusetts Department of Health cleared him and that he didn’t have any symptoms while the virus was in his system.

Corona Free as of two days ago. Cleared by Mass Dept of Health.
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 he had the virus March 19 after receiving positive results from a test he took five days earlier.

A handful of NBA players were announced to have gotten infected, which lead to the league’s games being suspended.
