"I can't really say anything more on it. It's a medical issue way beyond my capabilities explaining anything. He's sick. He won't play. We will keep monitoring him."
"It was a stupid mistake by me to talk about something I'm not qualified to talk about. Even trying to discuss the diagnosis, that was a mistake. I need to leave that to professionals."
"I read about the POTS diagnosis and called the Hawks general manager 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."
Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis is sidelined for a fourth consecutive game against the Lakers due to general illness. Coach Steve Kerr declined to provide specific medical details, stating it is beyond his expertise. Kerr initially claimed on local radio that Porzingis does not have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), despite Porzingis previously discussing his battle with the condition. Kerr later retracted this statement, acknowledging he was unqualified to discuss medical diagnoses. Porzingis has appeared in only one of eight games since joining the Warriors in February. His availability for Monday's game against the Clippers remains undetermined.
