Hawks Face Uncertainty as Star Kristaps Porziņģis Sidelined by Mysterious Illness for Weeks

Kristaps Porziņģis, the towering presence of the Atlanta Hawks, is facing another setback with an expected sidelining of at least two more weeks, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. It’s been a rough patch for the veteran over the last couple of seasons, as health battles have repeatedly interrupted his rhythm.
