Just saw Ginobili

[Soul_Patch]

My doctor that did my ACL reconstruction is in the same office as the Spurs doctors. I just got back from my follow up, which is just next door to the Spurs practice facility.

When we walked in we saw one of the spurs staff, dont recall who it was, he just looked familiar. We joked that we might see Manu getting work done. We went into our exam room that overlooked the Spurs practice facility parking lot. As we are waiting i see someone come out on the phone and joke to my wife, look there's Manu...turns out it was...lol. Could immediately tell by his gleaming baldspot...

He was on his cell for a while, then the spurs staff guy that was in the office, walked up down in the parking lot and put an elbow brace on him...cinched it up and looked like they were talking about how it felt, or if it fit...after a few, they both went back inside. bout 10 minutes later manu came back out and left in his Audi. tried to get a cell phone pic, but it was too far away.


one of the guys in the office said he was pretty sure he would be playing, obviously no idea if he knew anything, or was just talking shit...either way, thought it was cool. I asked my doc about it, but he couldnt/wouldnt say.

[Soul_Patch]

just googled Will Sevening, and it was him who was in the office getting the brace for Manu. knew he looked familiar.

[timvp]

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

That Manu wasn't obviously pissed is hopefully a good sign.

[Mugen]

True.

If he was out for the year, then there'd be a trail of dead bodies leading out of the doctor's office.

Pop would like to know the full name or description of this person... thanks.

[crc21209]

Thanks for the info! :tu

[Soul_Patch]

Yea i had wondered all morning, thuoght it would be fat chance id see him, and low and behold, there he was standing by his car in the parking lot below me. He was flexing his arm (holding his cell), and moved it quite a bit, never looked like it was labord or painful.

[Soul_Patch]

Pop would like to know the full name or description of this person... thanks.

Lol yea, i dont want to get anyone in trouble. Chances are he was just spouting stuff...but i was at least pleased to hear it.

[ElNono]

He was on his cell for a while

What he holding it with his right hand?

[nkdlunch]

I am more upset Manu picked an Audi over a Bimmer

[Drachen]

Where is that at? I had thought that the spurs doctors' offices were over off of Floyd Curl and I don't know where their practice facility is.

[Soul_Patch]

he switched which hand it was in, a couple of times.

[SenorSpur]

True.

21 Spurs Lane is the Center for Athletes where all the doctors offices are. Their practice facility is right behind it. Probably 22 Spurs lane.

There both off Huebner right before Babcock if you are coming from 10. Spurs Drive or something.

i thought the same thing tbh...had to look close..

[Soul_Patch]

I doubt much of the lower level staff in the office knows when the spurs players are even in the office, im sure they are rushed back, handled and rushed out. The guy who made the comment about him playing was a teenage looking Xray tech. Like i said, he was probably just talking out his ass, similar to speculators here...or he may have done his Xrays, hell i dont know. Thought it was cool, considering the brevity of the situation.

[Obstructed_View]

It's an Audi.

Yes, i had this whole thing planned to stalk him. Fucking sucks i had to blow out my ACL just to get this scoop, and break the news that manu was at practice, where he is every day he is not in a game... but he is MANU...i mean, it had to be done...

I forgot my phone in the truck...rofl...but it was probably too far away anyway. I was on the third floor in an exam room overlooking their parking lot. Only person i could have stalked or talked to would have been Will Sevening, he was standing outside the door to my exam room for a while chatting with the doctor, quietly...

[beirmeistr]

Assuming that this report is true, I am extremely relieved to hear that Manu is practicing his crossovers with his cell phone. I hope he can be back in uniform in one week.

Meanwhile, this thread is about Manu Ginobili, a true hero and a person worthy of pulling for in every way.

one of the things I like about spurstalk... reading the eye witness random encounters. Good times.. thanks for sharing!

Dude- Everyone is pulling for Manu….He needs both arms to do the Euro Flop properly…

They just said on The Ticket 760 that Manu has a right elbow sprain and he is "doubtful" for Game 1.

Problem is he keeps dropping calls.

[Soul_Patch]

cool, yea, figured the Xray guy probably didnt know and was simply just talking. A sprain isnt that bad though, i would imagine that is a quick recovery.

Manu Ginobili Doubtful For Game 1

http://www.nba.com/spurs/sites/spurs/files/imagecache/story_page_standard_image/manu_ginobili.jpg

SAN ANTONIO (April 14, 2011) - Spurs guard Manu Ginobili had an MRI earlier today in San Antonio. The MRI showed that he has a right elbow sprain. The injury occurred in the first quarter of last night’s Spurs-Suns game. Ginobili has already begun his rehabilitation process and will be listed as doubtful for Game 1 of the Spurs-Grizzlies series, which is scheduled for noon on Sunday at the AT&T Center.

[kjhip1]

I wonder what grade the sprain is...

[Blair420]

What the fuck do you know? Soul_Patch was in the freaking office with them.
That may have been. But I just don't believe a Spurs' doctor/staff would actually give out that info to just some random dude. Or maybe that dude that said he would be playing, was just some random dude just bullshitting, as well.

Besides... how would he know, if the MRI results weren't in yet... hmm...

EDIT: *looks up and sees the results of MRI just posted*

I knew I was right.

[Taco]

I bet he plays game 1

[Soul_Patch]

Makes you wonder how true these press releases are about the severity of things. I mean of course i was a ways away, but he didnt look like he had any trouble moving either arm. Just makes you wonder how much of that is put on for smoke screen purposes...

anyway...was a cool afternoon. Im off work and on my way to the Missions game...take it easy Spurs Talk.

I was more joking when i was asking staff about it, just to get a laugh...i had no intention of anyone actually saying anything...I went back for my Xray and told him i was busy watching Ginobili down in the parking lot get fit with an elbow brace...this young guy just said, "I think he is playing right?" then he changed the subject back to my xray. So to me, either a slip...or he was just speculating too.

Thanks Soul. Seems like the tech was right-- That could easily be interpreted as him meaning it wasn't a season ending injury which based on the news, it isn't.

We just don't know when he'll be back neither will anyone else since it depends on the progression of his rehab. He may be back sooner or later than what the docs think. It's great news he's not done for the season. :toast

Nice info!!!

Your signature photo is insane. What a body. The abs are a bit much but the rest is appetizing.
