A former NBA player recounts how he narrowly escaped death: "I was given about a week and a half"

Perry Jones played for the Oklahoma City Thunder between 2012 and 2015, sharing the locker room with superstars like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. He is now in the news because he has shared the most difficult moment of his life, a tragic experience: "I had this virus spreading through my brain, and they gave me like a week and a half. I probably had a stroke. It was spreading from my airways to my throat and brain. That's why my mouth wouldn't open, and things like that. I would wake up and wonder what you were talking about. I lost a lot of weight. I wasn't eating; this thing is causing this to me, it was happening before the injections in the mouth. We didn't know, but the injections caused it to show up. So I woke up, my mother crying, my friends there, I could have died."
