INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - In the prime of her career, WNBA star Tamika Catchings found herself growing inexplicably sluggish and struggling to keep up during games. Sleeping in and eating bigger meals didn't give her any extra energy.
"I'd go to sleep tired, I'd wake up tired," said Catchings, who had a battery of tests last year to find out what was wrong.
Doctors surprised the 6-foot-1 Indiana Fever player with their diagnosis: She had asthma, a condition worsened by her strenuous job as a professional athlete.
