I think this post lacks an understanding of heart conditions. You can have an enlarged heart or other heart issues and still be a professional athlete. Ask Reggie Lewis. It took Jason Tatum many months to get back to some kind of playing condition after he contracted Covid, etc.
Yeah and he just won eastern conference player of the month. Article makes it sound like he's at risk of any game now dropping down with a heart attack, which on the face of it is ridiculous.
Exceptions do not contradict the rule - athletes in high demanding sports rarely have heart problems, and the idea that they are at equal risk than the gen pop is laughable.

As a long time Celtics fan, there were games when he was close to normal and many other games where he just looked out of it.
Bottom line: he didn't just bounce back immediately after having Covid.
