Mitch’s Dad
Did the C’s conduct a medical exam before trading for Porzingas? If so, why didn’t the foot problem show up? Or did he injure it between trade and mid-August? This type of injury tends to be chronic, I believe.
I can only tell you what has been reported as I don’t have any additional inside information. Most trades do include at least exchanging medical information if not requiring an exam unless that is waived (and I didn’t hear anything about it being waived in this case).
It was reported (by the team and via his twitter account) that he has plantar fasciitis.
