Berlin (AP) - Basketball professional Luke Sikma from master Alba Berlin is trying to deal professionally with the current extreme travel stress.

«We've had a lot of games in the past few years.

This year we have to make up for the games that were canceled due to our quarantine.

We play as much as we can, ”said the 31-year-old American in an interview with the“ Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung ”(Tuesday).

In some weeks his team plays in the Bundesliga and the Euroleague every two days.

“Due to the pandemic, there are not as many flights as before.

We are therefore often on the road for a very long time.

But we can be happy that we are allowed to work.

We have to be clear about that, "said Sikma, but he underlined:" We have a really grueling game plan.

We have to take care of ourselves.

This is the new reality. "

The good thing about the pandemic is that the airports are empty, “there are hardly any queues and hardly any delays.

Flying is pretty safe as far as the purity of the air is concerned.

But of course it's against the feeling of getting on a plane with many others in times of social distance, ”said the 2.03 meter tall professional.
