Rui Hachimura of the NBA = American professional basketball Wizards has left the team for about three weeks due to conjunctivitis of the eyes and will miss the opening game on the 23rd of this month.
Wizards, to which Hachimura belongs, announced on the 21st that Hachimura will leave the team for about three weeks due to "epidemic keratoconjunctivitis".
Hachimura continued to make good adjustments toward the opening, such as scoring 18 points, the most in the team in the pre-season match on the 13th of this month, but after that, he took a break from practice from the 15th of this month due to eye inflammation. However, as a result of visiting a medical institution, the name of the disease was revealed.
As a result, the opening match against 76ers on the 23rd of this month will be missed, and it is expected that several games will continue to be missed.
"Adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis" is an adenovirus-induced infection that is highly contagious and continues to have symptoms such as red eye and unstoppable tears after an incubation period of 1 to 2 weeks.
Wizards head coach Scott Brooks told Hachimura on the 18th of this month that he said, "My eyes are engorged and my vision is blurred by inflammation. I wish I could recover soon. I want you to heal without rushing. "
