"SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis was a late scratch for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets with what the team termed a general illness. "He's not even going to come over [to the arena]," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "He's pretty sick." This would've been Porzingis' second game with his newest team. The Warriors acquired him from Atlanta via trade at the early February deadline. He made his debut for Golden State in a loss to the Boston Celtics."
"Porzingis scored 12 points in 17 minutes in that game and said afterward that he felt ready for a heavier workload. He practiced Friday and Saturday, with Kerr saying the plan was to bump up his minutes. He has been limited to 18 games this season, battling Achilles tendinitis and the lingering impact of a postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) diagnosis, a disorder of the autonomic nervous system."
