coach Frank Vogel is used to having to phone in for the holidays. It’s what you do when you’re coaching an NBA team, the league opening its office for Christmas Day while sending teams across the country away from home.because of COVID-19
“It never reached a point where I was feeling like I was going to be hospitalized or in danger or anything like that, but to me, my individual case, it definitely was not mild symptoms,” Vogel said. “I got pretty sick. And you fight through it, you kinda hope it goes away, but it lingers. So thankfully I’m on the mend, I’m feeling a lot better.”
Vogel’s situation is far from unique in the NBA, with Portland coach Chauncey Billups one of a handful of coaches currently unable to work because of the virus. Veteran coach Scott Brooks coached Portland against the Lakers.
