Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled out by the Atlanta Hawks for the next two weeks, according to the team.
The Hawks center has been dealing with an illness and is expected to undergo further evaluations. Porzingis has missed seven of the past nine games.
The Hawks (14-12) are hosting the Philadelphia 76ers (14-10) Sunday, Dec. 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta in a battle of Eastern Conference playoff hopefuls.
Porzingis was previously diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome last season while playing with the Boston Celtics. He missed significant time with Boston as a result of the POTS.
The condition “causes a number of symptoms when you transition from lying down to standing up, such as a fast heart rate, dizziness and fatigue,’ according to the Cleveland Clinic.
