A friendly reminder to never downplay the coronavirus, because it could end up impacting someone you love.

Cedric Ceballos, a former All-Star who played 11 seasons in the NBA with five different teams from 1990-2001, is currently attached to a ventilator to help him breathe as he continues his prolonged fight with COVID-19. It is his 11th day in the ICU, and been 12 days since he publicly announced he contracted the virus.

The 52-year old has had health issues in the past. He survived several heart attacks and had surgery to put two stents in blocked arteries back in 2012.
