The people on the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic are healthcare professionals, everyday citizens risking their lives to save those of their patients. They are the heroes right now.

In CloseUp360's “Hoopers Meet Heroes” series, which connects NBA players with healthcare professionals on the frontline of the fight against the coronavirus in their respective cities, Celtics center Enes Kanter chatted with Dr. Shuhan He, an emergency medicine physician in Boston who helped start GetUsPPE.org to provide adequate personal protective equipment to medical facilities. Enes and Dr. He discussed the local outbreak in Boston, how the Celtics reacted to their teammate, Marcus Smart, testing positive for the coronavirus and how the team has been handling the quarantine. Enes then shared a special surprise with Dr. He.
