Former NBA All-Star and Slam Dunk Contest champion Cedric Ceballos revealed that he’s now free of COVID-19. While he has managed to overcome the virus and has been moved out of isolation, Ceballos confirmed that he is still being held in intensive care as he is still struggling with some leftover symptoms from the virus. The former player also revealed that he is still unable to “breathe, walk or function” on his own yet.
Prior to his most recent tweet, Ceballos also publicly announced last week that he had been in the intensive care unit over the last 10 days. He asked for prayers and publicly apologized for any wrong he had caused, in addition to posting a picture of himself wearing an oxygen mask.
Over his 11-year career in the NBA, Ceballos played for the Phoenix Suns (twice), Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Pistons, and Miami Heat. In addition to winning the Slam Dunk Contest in 1992, Ceballos made the All-Star Game during his time with the Lakers. The 52-year-old averaged 14.3 points per game over the span of his career.
