Toronto-born Raptor Brissett thankful for time spent with baby daughter. MORE:
VIDEO SIGN OUTThe 22-year-old from Toronto might have been in the thick of another long Raptors playoff run had COVID-19 not shut down sports around the world in mid-March. Instead, he was home to support his pregnant partner Ieesha Callum, there for the birth of their daughter Ellai Aria on May 28, and has watched her grow in the weeks since.
"It wasn't a tough decision to leave, but getting on that plane and saying bye, that was the toughest part.""Jamaican families are large," he said with a laugh on a Zoom call with reporters Monday."She has a whole bunch of support, for sure. That's why I'm not really worried, I know that she's going to be loved and taken care of the same way she would even I was there.
Brissett, whose other brother Dejon was selected No. 2 overall by the Toronto Argonauts in April's CFL draft, plans to carefully follow the coronavirus protocols. "I have kind of figured out a way to gain weight and get stronger," he said."I think one of my biggest problems was I was never able to see the change and it's always hard when you feel like you are working hard and you don't see that change.Boucher said he carefully tracked his caloric output during workouts, then made sure to replenish those calories when he ate.
