As the NBA and its players continue to work out a plan for the game's return, Utah Jazz Guard Donovan "Spider" Mitchell shared his experience with coronavirus and how it impacted his view of life and sports.

"I was scared, especially when you have no symptoms. I was fortunate. You are waiting for that day, you are like, it's Monday am I going to get it? On Tuesday, you keep checking your temperature. Your heart beats fast when you run up the stairs. You are like am I getting it, is it coming?" said Mitchell.

Mitchell and his mom were in Bridgeport Tuesday for the drive-thru graduation at the Classical Studies Magnet Academy Annex. Students who qualify for free lunch got two pair of free Adidas shoes with their diplomas.
