According to MoragaBears write-up, Fox said that Askew was "physically worn down and unavailable". I know that happens a lot in the NBA, when you got guys sometimes in their mid-30s playing 82-games-plus-playoffs, as well as semi-frequent back-to-back games, but I find it a bit odd-sounding in this case. What do you think?

I hope he's back for Furd and solid for the rest of the season. It'd be nice to see what we can do with different options in the backcourt.

Agreed. He is needed. It will be good to see what he can do when he is not asked to do too much.

No more hero ball.

He had Covid in early December. Sometimes it kicks the arse of even young guys.

Ah, is that it? Yeah, when I had COVID in May, I pretty much had to take a nap in the afternoon for three weeks... and I would be out for a good ninety minutes. And it was a fairly mild case.

Yep ongoing fatigue seems to be a byproduct. That's my story for my employer and I'm sticking with it.

---

For me, the cold-like symptoms were mild and disappeared in a couple of days. The problem with the fatigue (one morning I walked downstairs and then needed to sit at the bottom of the staircase to rest!) and brain fog which lasted a month, and which sporadically arise for several hours from time to time. Hope Askew is okay.

I hope you are on the mend…and your experience is why I don't find wearing a mask at appropriate times to be that big of a deal. I DON'T WANT THAT SH@IT!

I caught it on 7/4 and had it (though slightly diminishing symptoms each day) until 8/3, though there were some relapses where I found it hard to concentrate at work. I agree, the mask is not a big deal; since the pandemic started I got COVID once (where I had slipped in my determination to mask up) and only 1 cold.

We are in Tokyo for the holidays after they finally opened up. Everyone still masks, indoors and outdoors (except for some obvious visitors).

I'm still feeling the effects of COVID-19 from last January but I'm far beyond my playing years. Actually I never had playing years but that's another story...

I am somewhat surprised at how few people wear masks at both the men's and women's games. People are sitting close together for 2 hours and on a good day there's a lot of screaming. And the ventilation doesn't look that good, smoke or fog from the introductions just hangs in the air.

Never wear masks. Attend all Cal basketball games. Never got Covid. Have had all the shots. I wear masks where required not when not required.

In my inexpert opinion contagion depends on time, distance, ventilation, and protection (masks, vaccinations, etc). I'm comfortable if 3 of those 4 are good.

At Cal men's basketball games, you don't have to worry about people sitting close together. Attendance has been so lousy that there is lots of room between fans.

---

You can sit among a sea of free t-shirts if you want.

Last year the Stanford game was packed. Might happen again.

I'm watching the weather and road conditions

I don't think any roads in Berkeley well east of I-80 are likely to flood. But you'll still have to deal with drivers of varying skill levels on a rainy night.

Supposed to be a break in the storms Friday.

National Weather Service says 60% chance of rain Friday night.
