Fantasy Impact:
Last season, Porzingis was diagnosed with the autonomic condition postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). He met with doctors over the summer to manage his health and entered the season in good condition. While the exact cause of his current absence is unclear, it may be related. The Atlanta Hawks have stated they are prioritizing Porzingis’ long-term health, meaning he is unlikely to return until he feels 100 percent. In his absence, Onyeka Okongwu should continue to start, and Mouhamed Gueye is expected to see increased minutes.
