Brooklyn Nets DeAndre Jordan Center donated 200 meals to frontline workers in Los Angeles during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, according to TMZ Sports.
According to Jordan’s Instagram, the big man worked with Postmates to provide meals to workers at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital in partnership with myCovidMD, which offered free COVID-19 testing via a drive-through pop-up site.
Harold & Belle’s, which is reportedly one of Jordan’s favorite restaurants in Los Angeles, prepared the meals Creole chicken and a personal favorite of Jordan in vegetarian jambalaya.
His efforts to feed people go beyond his job on Friday, as the big man also partnered with Beyond Meat to donate 1 million veggie burgers to those in need during the COVID-19 shutdown, to CloseUp360.
Jordan’s roots in Los Angeles stem from his time with the Clippers, for which he played from 2008 to 2018. He signed as a free agent with the Dallas Mavericks before the 2018-19 season before finding his way to the New York Knicks through exchange and then the Nets in free agency in 2019.
The 32-year-old led the Nets with 8.3 points and 10.0 rebounds in just 22.0 minutes per game. Has been unable to participate the Nets during their 2019-20 season reboot at Disney World near Orlando, Florida after testing positive for COVID-19.
