athletic young person in the prime of life.

"Vanderbilt women's basketball player Demi Washington tweeted that she will miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed with myocarditis following a COVID-19 positive case.

Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle usually caused by a viral infection, including COVID-19. Symptoms include chest pain, fatigue, shortness of breath and arrhythmias.

Washington, a sophomore guard, did not play in Vanderbilt's season-opening 82-74 loss at Little Rock on Saturday. The Commodores' first three games were canceled because of COVID-19 either within their program or the opponent's.

On Monday night, Washington tweeted that she will not play the 2020-21 season.

"Following a case of COVID-19, I have recently been diagnosed with myocarditis and will not be able to play this season," Washington tweeted. "While I am disappointed, I look forward to supporting my teammates and returning to the court soon. #AnchorDown"
