Hawks Sideline Kristaps Porziņģis for At Least Two Weeks With Illness

Atlanta placed him in limited activity to prioritize his long-term health.

Overview

  • Porziņģis will remain in a period of limited basketball activities and undergo evaluations over the next two weeks, the team announced.
  • The Hawks did not link the illness to his prior POTS diagnosis, and Porziņģis recently said he does not believe it is related.
  • He has missed seven of the past eight games and last played on Dec. 5, when he scored 25 points against Denver.
  • In 13 appearances this season, he has averaged 19.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks for Atlanta.
  • Trae Young, sidelined with a right MCL sprain, is expected to return to practice next week, the team said.
