Boston’s Evan Fournier talks COVID, vaccines and bubble hangovers for Celtics, other teams

The former Magic guard spoke on how playing late into the last season has weighed some teams down in the present one.

Speaking with the media after a rare in-season practice with his new team, Boston Celtics veteran shooting guard Evan Fournier gave the press an update on a number of topics ranging from his personal struggles with COVID to the impact of making a deep run in last year’s playoffs.

Fournier, who just recently had his first good game after returning from a lengthy stay in the NBA’s health and safety protocols due to a tough bout with the viral malady, began by sharing some positive news that may help him clear up some of the lingering symptoms he has been suffering through.

“Actually, I had my first vaccine yesterday, Pfizer,” he revealed. “So, apparently there were a lot of people reporting that after getting the vaccine, they started to feel better — so we’ll see.”
