Did Everyone Forget Willie Cauley-Stein’s Sickle Cell Problem?

There have been a plethora of articles today saying Willie Cauley-Stein looked out of shape during a recent Sacramento Kings practice.

That had me thinking about a Willie interview where he spoke about a sickle cell problem back in 2013.

Here is the article from the Courier-Journal:

Despite his monster defensive performance in last night’s win over Boise State – nine blocks to go with seven rebounds and six points – Kentucky center Willie Cauley-Stein looked seriously winded at times, doubled over on occasion, and played just 25 minutes even though he was never in foul trouble.
