Injury Update: Stephen Jackson right ankle injury

[timvp]

Stephen Jackson appeared to injure his right ankle following a three-point attempt. He let go of his shot and then fell backwards over a waitress who was serving someone on the front row. (Apparently, the waitress was serving NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg ... not sure how that matters, but whatever).

He limped to the sidelines and then went to the locker room. Jackson looked to be in considerable pain :td

[freetiago]

hes old and injury prone
maybe pop will finally start playing leonard 36ish minutes like hes suppose to

[Libri]

:(

[Mugen]

And that's why letting JA walk was a head scratcher.

Hopefully, Tyler Wilkerson call up. Please, Please.

[polandprzem]

[Monkeyboy14]

Yeah it really didn't look to bad.. guess we will find out pretty soon though. Thank god for Leonard.. but does anyone else think is playing pretty bad defense so far?? Or is it just me.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

there's got to be some kind of rule where people aren't allowed to be walking or kneeling courtside during game play right?

[Trainwreck2100]

there is, but no doubt the mayor didn't give a fuck about that, and played the "I'm the fucking mayor" card. Hopefully the Spurs lodge some kind of complaint cause there really is no excuse for that shit

[LakerHater]

Mayor never came back either....

Probably opening up the bubbly.

Damn that's like being at the wrong place (or going) at the wrong time.

[Darius McCrary]

If kawhi has been having a healthy season, I'm not worried. The Kid could use a stretch with heavy minutes. But the Spurs are right back into a precarious situation regarding depth.

Silver Lining: at least at this rate, Stack won't suffer from dead legs in the playoffs.

[doldrums]

Typical Democrat, tbh... celebrates and basks in his own bling and wealth and tells the middle-class that we should give to the poor...

First of all he is not a democrat, he was a republican who became an independent. He also takes no salary and donates tremendous sums to charity each year.

Dumb bitch had to be in the fucking way. Stupid, stupid bitch.

[slick'81]

knowing pop hell b out a month

[BillMc]

Somehow, the way the world works, is she will sue MSG, the Knicks, the NBA, or Jackson for damages from the "emotional duress" caused by the negative publicity resulting from her injuring our player. You watch...

[spurs1990]

Hillarious even after the fact the 2 idiots completely oblivious of SJax and his injury.

whats up with Jax's injuries lately? bad luck or age? record promotion instead of conditioning?

[timtonymanu]

Ugh. This team can't be completely healthy for more than a game.

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

karma

[TD 21]

On the one hand, this isn't good, because it forces some combination of the top three bigs into more minutes, Bonner to be inserted into the rotation or Green or Ginobili into more minutes at SF. On the other hand, this is good, because first and foremost what it forces, is Leonard playing well over 30 mpg, which needs to happen anyway.

I understand why Jackson is playing in excess of 20 mpg (to avoid the three "this isn't good" things I mentioned), but his minutes need to be slashed. He's got a single digit PER and is barely shooting 25% from 3. If/when they acquire a competent fourth big, they need to start utilizing him as a fringe rotation player.

[KaiRMD1]

I'm paying MSG a visit tomorrow night.

[cjw]

I'm paying MSG a visit tomorrow night.

Made the trip to MSG trip tonight and was late - as I walked in, SJax was hobbling down towards the locker room. From watching this game and plenty of Knicks all year, they are just a bad matchup for us. Kidd bodies up Parker, Chandler clogs the lane and also plays good man D on Duncan. That said, this loss can be attributed more to tired legs than anything else. Shots were all flat and rotations were slow on D.

Good representations by Spurs fans in the crowd despite tickets being ridiculously expensive ($150 just to get in the door day of).

[Trainwreck2100]

God I just wish Pop said he wanted to send SJax home before the game but didn't want to get fined. Just to stick it to Stern in his hometown

Fuck that shit. I love the Spurs, but there's no way in hell I'd pay that.

I got tickets for $20 at the last Spurs game I attended in December. It was well worth it, but $150? No way. But that's just me.

Good to know. I did hear cheers on TV when SA scored but couldn't see any Spurs fans in any of the camera views. Sorry to have ya'll witness such a shit performance, no thanks to the scheduling.

[Darkwaters]

And never trust a democrat's math....

blah blah blah

I'm so tired of politics everywhere. Can we just all agree that they're all leaches and shitbags and be over it?

[Ice009]

That's weak, and it is not sticking it to anyone if he were to say that. Spurs were humiliated and played a very weak game. They deserved the ass whooping they got.

[Trainwreck2100]

well that went over your head

That's ridiculous, I'm pissed that now the only way I can see the Spurs is outside of New York because before the Nets moved, I could see them courtside in Jersey.

[DapDaGenius]

Time to give Gelabale a call

who?

[timaios]

Time to give Gelabale a call

Gelabale signed with Valencia BC in December.

[ace3g]

Gelabale signed with Valencia BC in December.

It was reported he has an NBA opt out clause

[timaios]

It was reported he has an NBA opt out clause

So, that's a good idea then.

[Obstructed_View]

First of all he is not a democrat, he was a republican who became an independent. He also takes no salary and donates tremendous sums to charity each year.

Actually he is a lifelong democrat who ran for mayor as a republican.

:lol facts.

Watch Stephen Jackson get injured by Mayor Bloomberg's waitress


By Houston Mitchell January 4, 2013, 7:00 a.m.



Some mayors will do anything to help their team win. Are you paying attention, Antonio Villaraigosa (http://www.latimes.com/topic/politics/antonio-villaraigosa-PEPLT007500.topic)?

San Antonio Spurs (http://www.latimes.com/topic/sports/basketball/san-antonio-spurs-ORSPT000116.topic) forward Stephen Jackson (http://www.latimes.com/topic/sports/stephen-jackson-PESPT003550.topic) had just put up a three-point attempt from the corner Thursday night against the New York Knicks (http://www.latimes.com/topic/sports/basketball/new-york-knicks-ORSPT000200.topic) when he took a step back. Unfortunately for him, he stepped right onto a waitress who was taking an order from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (http://www.latimes.com/topic/politics/government/michael-bloomberg-PEPLT007462.topic).
The waitress was in the out-of-bounds area but was just barely off the court kneeling in front of Bloomberg, who was sitting courtside.
Jackson sprained his right ankle and had to leave the game, never to return.


So, it's time for Villaraigosa to step up. Sit courtside at all Lakers and Clippers games. Try to time your orders just right to take out the best player on the other team. It's the least you can do for the city.


By the way, Bloomberg was ordering some popcorn and a bottled water.

[bus driver]

so youre telling me that you cant walk to your seat during play at the ATT center but a waitress can take an order on the sideline during play at msg? :pctoss

[ace3g]

[TampaDude]

Bloomberg is a douchebag of the worst kind. Fuck him. I'm so glad he's not going to be mayor much longer.

Oh, BTW...FUCK HIM.

[ohmwrecker]

So . . . Who made the game thread that allowed this to happen?!

[Libri]

So . . . Who made the game thread that allowed this to happen?!

That's why I don't start any. Well, maybe one day. :D

Ugly brunette bitch sitting to the right of the guy in the orange jacket has a smirk on her face. Ugly mole smirking at stephen's injury. Wish jax beat the shit out of her.

Yea, it was definitely his old age that caused him to step on the stupid waitress. Good call.

(On the way Stephen Jackson was injured…)
“It is maddening. It is the same way at the ends of the court. It is an accident waiting to happen.”

(On personnel and fans going to the courtside seats during a play…)
“After what happened I have no doubt the league is going to contact people and make sure everybody shores up their discipline in that area. It is obvious that people shouldn’t be ordering beers, or cokes, or hot dogs, or whatever they ordered while the game is going on. Each arena has to have the responsibility of doing that.’

(On the seriousness of Stephen Jackson’s injury..)
“It’s not serious. He’ll miss tonight and maybe New Orleans. He will probably be 50-50 for New Orleans.”

Totally agree with Pop. Those rich fucktards who can't be bothered to be in their courtside seats when the game is going on should have them taken away and given to real basketball fans. I hate it when those morons are walking down the sideline as the game is going on. :ihit

Great news :tu

Glad that freak ankle injury turned out to be very minor.

[silverblackfan]

Good news, but I hope he does not aggravate or make it worse. I like Jackson's grit, but would rather see him healthy if a few days more would help.
