Kristaps Porzingis, Steve Kerr’s “mystery”.
When will we see again Kristaps Porzingis in a Warriors jersey? These others have no answer either because the interior missed the fifth match in a row, while the Californians faced the Clippers.
Before this missed training session, Steve Kerr realized the franchise still didn’t have precise visibility into the exact nature of the ailment his recruit was suffering from.
« Not really. It’s a bit mysterious. We’re obviously working with him to see things more clearly, to get to a stage where his health will be consistent. Our medical staff is working hard with him. For my part, I will no longer venture to advance even the slightest medical theory », says the coach cautiously.
His remark comes days after his remarks in which he suggested that The Latvian didn’t really suffer of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (STOP), which has been making his life difficult since last season, despite the Celtics doctor’s initial diagnosis.
The coach no longer wants to play medical expert
« I read about this STOP and I called (Hawks GM) Onsi Saleh. He is a good friend of mine, so I asked him if this STOP story was true. He told me that in reality it is not a STOP. False information was circulating “, said the coach.
Interior, after playing 17 minutes against his former team Boston on February 19, has not been able to play since. Steve Kerr and the Warriors had hoped the player would be able to return after participating in Friday’s practice, but he sat out Saturday’s game against the Lakers and remains unavailable.
« As soon as Rick Celebrini (Warriors VP of Player Health and Performance) gets back behind the mic, you can ask him a question…I’m not qualified to answer it. At least he is ,” returns Steve Kerr regarding the connection between his current unavailability and STOP syndrome.
