"You know how people say, 'Oh, I'm so fatigued.' I've never used those words. I don't even like to speak in those terms, but I really was like that. At that time, I could just lay on the couch and be a house cat."
"When I heard about the trade, I read about the POTS diagnosis and called the Hawks GM Onsi Saleh. He's a good friend of mine and I said is this POTS story real? He said it's actually not POTS. That was some misinformation that was out there."
"Over 11 total playoff games last spring, Porzingis averaged 20.9 minutes, 7.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks per game while shooting just 31.6 percent from the field - to go along with a 15.4 rate from 3-point range."
Kristaps Porzingis, a 7-foot-2 center who contributed to the Boston Celtics' 2024 championship, has been significantly impacted by a lingering illness throughout his career. After missing games in March 2025 due to illness, his playoff performance declined substantially, averaging 7.7 points and shooting just 31.6 percent from the field over 11 games. Porzingis was traded to the Atlanta Hawks and later to the Golden State Warriors. In October, he revealed he was dealing with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a condition causing elevated heart rate and fatigue. However, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr recently clarified that the POTS diagnosis may be misinformation, indicating the actual condition remains unclear.
