"Yesterday during BP I honestly couldn't breathe," Powell said before Saturday's game. "I was breathing like 50 percent. I was sweating. I went to the ER and had them take a look at me. They gave me a breathing treatment and I started coughing up all the stuff that was in me. Woke up this morning and felt better and then I came here at 12 and ran outside, ran as much as I would in any game. And I could tolerate it." Powell said he hasn't had such a severe asthma attack in 10 years, but he always has his inhaler with him "just in case."
