Sunday\u2019s upset win<\/a> over the Denver Nuggets, though the team hasn\u2019t specified whether it\u2019s a new ailment or the same nervous system disorder that\u2019s plagued Porzingis for the last two seasons.<\/p>\nThe 30-year-old big man has been diagnosed with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), a condition that can cause his heart rate to rapidly accelerate when he stands up. Which is unfortunately a large part of participating in NBA basketball games. The condition has to do with the body poorly regulating blood flow from the lower extremities to the rest of the body, which is likely worse when the body in question stands 7 feet, 2 inches tall.<\/p>\n
Porzingis and his doctors have attempted to manage the disorder with a high-salt diet and scheduled rests, but he played only 42 games for the Boston Celtics last season and only 17 for the Atlanta Hawks before the Kuminga trade. He scored 12 points in 17 minutes in his lone appearance for the Warriors last Thursday.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a logical time for Porzingis to skip a road trip, given that it\u2019s only a two-nighter and it\u2019s followed by two rest days before the Warriors face the Los Angeles Lakers in a nationally-televised matchup. He could face his old teammate Luka Doncic, who played with \u201cTingus Pingus\u201d after the Dallas Mavericks also made a hopeful deadline trade for the big man, even though he wasn\u2019t playing.<\/p>\n
Draymond Green missed Sunday\u2019s game as well, but he will be traveling with the team on their Delta Doubleheader. He\u2019s officially questionable for Tuesday\u2019s game. Steph Curry\u2019s injured knee will be evaluated again March 1, while his brother\u2019s back troubles will be re-evaluated some time in the next two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Golden State Warriors may have traded Jonathan Kuminga away at the deadline, but they still have a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621754,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3786],"tags":[7,479,164,4025,4024,6,37651,255,1226,1224],"class_list":{"0":"post-621753","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golden-state-warriors","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-golden-state","10":"tag-golden-state-warriors","11":"tag-goldenstate","12":"tag-goldenstatewarriors","13":"tag-nba","14":"tag-nba-news-and-rumors","15":"tag-warriors","16":"tag-warriors-injury-report","17":"tag-warriors-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116125363260256003","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621753"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621753\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
