Official Manu Ginobili Injury Thread

[SAGirl]

I heard on a radio program here in argentina that the descition was 100% pop, because he didn´t want Manu to play these games out of precaution.

A reporter considered "close" to manu said that he would normally play through this but the team might benefit from his absense.

Sounds like Manu to want to play through bumps.. and like Pop to put his foot down and say no. Glad Pop chose to rest him now.

Smells like a mini vacation for Manu. Manu has been busting his butt getting wins while the newbies figure it out. I think Pops is saying time for them to figure it out on their own.

Yup. Pop is simply taking away the safety net. Trial by fire for the rest.

[TMTTRIO]

I wouldn't even bring Manu back until near the rodeo road trip.

I wouldn't mind the team's strategy being super,crazy-cautionary with Manu as a way of having an excuse to preserve him throughout the season... even more so than they have been in these past few years. Give him multiple days off between stretches of games or road trips, but nothing long enough for him to lose his rhythm or in-game confidence.

"Looks like you got a scratch on your arm, Manu... take it easy the next 3 days, let that thing heal. Here's a band-aid."

Still a vital cog, team needs that playmaking ability

The reporter seemed to slip that Manu agreed with Pop about not playing to see how the team fares without him.

I think they are more confident now than they were a few games back in what the team can do without him, i also assume Pop trusts Manu´s view on how much pressure some of the second unit players can handle and wouldn´t be strange if he picks manu´s brain here and there to consider whom be able to replace what he does any given night.

Aint worried. I trust in Pop to handle this.

Interesting. It might seem like it really is nothing serious, but maybe just soreness and yes, the team needed to wake up from their over-reliance on Manu's heroics, and Manu also needs to take care of himself to stay healthy for us through the season.

Thanks for sharing.

That strategy may work well next year after all roles and the new team chemistry is established

[100%duncan]

Yeah sit manu for a long while and enjoy the 6yh seed again. These takes smh

[TheGreatYacht]

Bump. Don't know if it was a nut shot or if he really hurt something. Rest him and Timmy until after the all star break tbh

[dabom]

True. Someone keeping the ball away from fathead's hands is always a positive

I ing hate Ander , but SAGirl has a gargantuan crush on him so it's whatever

[Brazil]

Fwiw, just saw this quote after the game that worries me a bit...

Tony Parker, Ginobili's longtime friend and teammate, showed greater concern.
"I don't want to joke with that," Parker said. "It doesn't look good."

Any update on Manu's injury somewhere ?

It certainly didn't look good,but how bad can it be? It looked like a hit,a painful one for sure,but still just a hit

Kicked and kneed are two different things. He might be out against the Mavs, but he will be back for the Lakers game.

[NameLess Scrub]

I didn't even see exactly how he was injured watching the replay.

Hope is not serious.

According to Google Translate:

We are told that Manu suffered more than a bump in the lower area. Medical report is expected.
