And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

In a video posted to his Instagram account on Wednesday, Johnson said, “I wanted to give you guys a little helpful update on things that have been going on on my end for the past two-and-a-half to three weeks now. So the update is this: my wife Lauren as well as my two baby girls and myself, we have all tested positive for COVID-19.”
Johnson went on to say, “I can tell you that this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family, and for me, personally, as well. And I’ve gone through some doozies in the past,” he said. “Testing positive for COVID-19 is much different than overcoming nasty injuries, or being evicted or even being broke, which I have been more than a few times.”
He added, "I am happy to tell you guys that we as a family are good. We’re on the other end of it, we’re on the other side. We’re no longer contagious, and we are — thank God — we are healthy.”

So I wanted to build a city or a project like this that will give them the motivation to know that there is a home back home.

The Boston Celtics are rolling in the Eastern Conference Semis against the defending champion Toronto Raptors. Led by Jayson Tatum's 34 points coupled by a Marcus Smart barrage of six 3-pointers and Kemba Walker's ability to close out games, the C's took a 2-0 in the best of seven series.
Toronto was spearheaded by five players scoring in double digit figures including the continued high-level playoff play by Fred Van Fleet.
In the Nightcap, the Denver Nuggets dug themselves out of a 3-1 hole to defeat the Utah Jazz in an entertaining and explosive seven game series that featured extraordinarily high-level guard action from Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell.
In each game, both teams combined nearly averaged 235 points per outing but Game 7 proved to be an old-fashion slug-fest with the final score being 80-78 in the Nuggets favor.
Denver will now prepare for their match-up against the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals which begins on Thursday.
