Ugh, that's awful. Worse for what she's gone through than not playing basketball.

I keep wondering why some cases are very minor and some are so severe if not lethal.

One of the nicest, sweetest women to ever play WBB. This is a shame beyond shames. I'll never forget her loss to UConn in 2019 when she hugged and congratulated every UConn player and coach. A stand up woman that deserves better than this. If there's any justice in this world this will just be a setback.

Horrible. Poor kid.

 

[JellyBean]

Dang!! My heart goes out to her and her family. Just so many unknowns about this virus and the long term impact on people; health, mental, and financial.

 

[willtalk]

Just beyond words.

Just keep her in your prayers. May her absolute tenacity on the courts help her as she recovers in 2021.

Hopefully Real Sports can soon air an update that she is a recovered long hauler.

Prayers for her and family.

 

[Shorty Dee]

First and foremost I am sending prayers to her and her family!! This virus is very deadly with so many unknowns!! Please continue to wear your masks, wash your hands, use hand sanitizer, stay 6ft. apart, disinfect your homes, etc. Be blessed and safe!!

Heartbreaking to hear. Hopefully she can make a full recovery in the long term. All the more reason to take COVID seriously and each do our part to help slow/stop the spread.

Very sad. Saw her play at Gampel in February 2018. She was guarded by Kia and had a tough game but was all class all the way. Great talent that all of us hope we will see again.

This virus really sucks. Durr is/was? a great player who, at the 2019 regional finals almost single-handedly brought Louisville back from a late 4th qtr deficit vs UConn, only to fall short. She is also a player that Geno recruited very hard and has enormous respect for.

The fact that Durr opted out of the 2020 season as a “Medical High Risk” indicates a preexisting condition that likely exacerbated her bout with the disease. I truly hope she gets back on the court. Her story is a precautionary tale for young people who believe the virus is not something they need to worry about.

My heart broke for her watching that interview. Man, I'm cheering hard for this kid now. Get well soon, Asia.

 

[Ozimoto]

May she be blessed and recover fully.

What a terrible story that I hope has a happy ending. Thoughts and prayers out to the young lady.

She opted out of the bubble about a month after her Covid diagnosis -- likely because she wasn't getting any better.

 

[LouS]

WOW!!! That is awful. I feel so bad for Asia. Watching the interview actually brought me to tears.

 

[cwaduke]

Sad to hear. I almost died from it myself. The way back is slow, but things do get better. Lung scarring can take 1-2 years to recover.

 

[dtbtbtb]

Terrible and so so sad! She is/was a great player and i wish her a full recovery and that she can get back to the game she loves so much!

 

[Kaizen]

I really like Asia, great attitude and talent.
Pray her to recover soon.
