It’s a really bad look either way imo. Both the Hawks and KP pretty clearly agreed this was the story that they wanted the public to know. If it’s not true (and especially if Onsi was the one who told Steve it wasn’t true) they still almost certainly weren’t expecting him to share that info.

Maybe Kerr really meant to say ‘it’s Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), and autoimmune conditions’. But couldn’t remember the current diagnosis as the diagnosis evolved

Stay strong brother. I had similar for about a year after Covid. Even trying to sit at my desktop computer for more than an hour had me wiped out feeling a shortness of breath and I had to go lay down.

I bought and tried every supplement that people on the long Covid subs claimed helped them but nothing made a real difference for me. In the end the only thing that really got me back to mostly-normal was rest and time.

I did buy an adjustable bed frame though (like a hospital bed where you can raise the head of it) and that helped because at least I was able to sit up with that and work on my laptop. It didn’t exhaust me as much as sitting at a desk did.

Guaranteed he has long COVID, which very often comes with dysautonomia, and because the pro leagues and their media partners have all collectively agreed to act as if long COVID is not a thing that exists, they’ve just been saying he has POTS (among the most common forms of dysautonomia) because that’s easier and cleaner of a narrative than the alternative, which is to acknowledge the very real existence of long COVID on a major public stage like that of the NBA. 🙃

Exactly. It’s why the Warriors’ (mainly Dunleavy and Kerr) statements to the media right after trading for him along the lines of “we’re confident we can get him healthy” were so eye-rolling and arrogant.

Not to mention grossly ableist, because it suggests those suffering from dysautonomia - a debilitating condition for many, if not most - are suffering because they’re just not doing the right things and that there’s actually a pathway to ‘getting healthy’ again for them, they’re just not taking it (oh and all doctors everywhere have also failed to mention this magical cure to them lol). 🙄

I mean Kerr’s “is this POTS story real?” is just about one step removed from that. It implies he:

A. He’s talked to Porzingis about his condition and he either doesn’t believe him or to some degree doubtful of Porzingis’ knowledge of and lived experience of his own condition and so went to Saleh (not a medical professional mind you lol) to get the “real story” instead…

or

B. Didn’t even talk to Porzingis about his condition and his experience with it before deciding he’d just call Saleh to get the 411, since they have a history from his GS days and all, instead and based on that conversation decided, with such a degree of confidence that he went ahead and declared it to the media, Porzingis didn’t have the condition he’s reportedly been told he has.

Anyone that’s experienced medical gaslighting will tell you that both scenarios are about as bad as being explicitly accused of making it up and that it’s all in your head. It’s the same degree of dismissal, but just passive aggressive af.

That doesn’t really make sense. Autonomic disorders are disorders unto themselves. Covid can trigger them, but that doesn’t mean it’s anything to do with a persistence of covid. Other diseases and stress events are known to cause autonomic issues, but they don’t call it long-MONO, even if we know mono can lead to a wide array of disorders down the road. You can never prove which illness causes one of these disorders nor would you treat those diseases, you treat the disorders.

A poor man’s tilt test is extremely easy. The cardiologist did not wait out 5 minutes for my heartbeat to go down before taking my supine measurement. The second cardiologist did perform it correctly, and what do you know, a 50 bpm differential.

I have EDS, ME/CFS (aka LONG COVID), MCAS, POTS, and plenty of other comorbidities. LC/ME/CFS are all essentially in the same venn diagram.

I’ve been both housebound and bedridden since 2020. This year I’ve been bedridden the entire year.

One theory about LC is that it’s a mitochondrial issue, where your body simply doesn’t generate enough energy for you to function. Whether it’s POTS or LC or both, it’s definitely what is keeping Porzingis from playing. The other part? If you force yourself to exercise, you will crash (PEM) and fuck up your energy envelope (aka baseline). Crashes can last hours to years. My current crash is at two months, and it has been pure and utter hell. I have about ten minutes a day I can sit on the floor in the kitchen to make my dinner and then back to bed I go.

There are also many neurological issues with this condition. It literally hurts to think. I can no longer read, write, draw, play music, listen to music, exercise, have friends visit, watch tv, or even go outside. I sit in a dark room with a mask on, day after day, waiting for my crash (PEM) to lift. I’m on the more extreme end, whereas Porzingis is more mild (isn’t in bed ²⁴⁄₇). Hopefully more answers and medications are discovered soon about ME/CFS/LC, because those that suffer from it have an extremely poor quality of life.

I’m surprised the Warriors made the trade. But hopefully I’m wrong and Porzingis has a mild case that can be cured with proper medication.

I’m sorry to hear that 🫂 I definitely understand what you’re going through. Your case seems worse than what my family member has, and what they have has really impacted our life .

That’s kind of you to say. I hope the best for your family member. It’s not easy for anyone involved. Especially the caretakers.

I had a tiny window of energy and per usual, used it right away! I’m back to wearing a mask after this. Can’t do too much light.

Could be dysautonomia. (Been through the conversation w/ doctors about a relative not having POTS by strict definition, but qualifies under the broader term of dysautonomia.)

I don’t know why people are taking this maliciously. Could easily be a “just what fits at the time diagnosis.” I thought the consensus at the time was long COVID since it appeared pretty close after he got covid

Warriors really traded a young stud for a 7’3 guy who sucks at rebounding and plays once every 2 weeks

Once every 2 weeks is still more often than Kerr would play Kuminga.

It’s obviously always been long COVID. Maybe insurance implications to labeling it that? A lot of musicians have had to cancel tours and not say the C word for insurance reasons

Yikes. Am a Hawks fan and as far as I were ever concerned, if he could go by playoffs/in, cool.

The damn near handful of games he played were almost universally positive team wide.

Don’t see a universe where considering he had played 17 games that something was absolutely up with him beyond the usual and the Warriors knew this.

If nothing else, Golden State’s medical staff is revered far and wide so hopefully he can get his career back.

Thing is… POTS is more of a symptom then a disease. He likely has some weird cardiac issue that is sub clinical at his age
