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

Porziņģis revealed in October that there were times where his heart rate would rise to 130 beats per minute when he would go from lying down to standing up. All he could do, he said, was “just lay on the couch and be a house cat.”

“It hit me, and it hit me like a truck,” Porziņģis said. “The breathing wasn’t good. I did everything I could potentially to feel as good as I could, but my engine wasn’t running the way I wanted.”

The Hawks are entering Sunday’s game with the Philadelphia 76ers with a 14-12 record after losing four of their last five games. Porziņģis, 30, is in the final year of a two-year, $60 million deal this fall.
