Danny Green won't make trip to New Orleans, Pop says

[ElNono]

Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN
Sprained left index finger for Danny Green.

[Spur-Addict]

:stirpot:

[Baam]

Wish we could have gotten a bigger sample size with this starting unit...

Would have been interesting to know what Pop would have done with an healthy Green and Manu coming back...

[timtonymanu]

Is Manu still gonna be out?

We're gonna need him now.

Danny Green @DGreen_14
(https://twitter.com/DGreen_14)It's my hand not my finger lol

At least Danny still has the middle finger to shoot at Spurs fans.

[Prime Time]

But does this leave me wondering - How many players have to get injured in order for Pop to give Malcolm a tiny bit of run?

[PÒÓCH]

Another wuss goes down. He and Tiago can go to the mall and shop for little shorts that say "Pink" on the derriere now.

[tholdren]

Who is softer, green or drob?

[freetiago]

too much gnsf'ing in this thread tbh...
Green is about the only Spur who never misses games to injuries

at least now Pop will be forced to play Leonard more minutes tbh..

Don't know what Pop is saving Leonard for. A 22-23 year old should be playing over 35 minutes in order to improve.

[SupremeGuy]

Saving him for another deep playoff run, tbh. Don't forget how well he played in the playoffs, and in particular the finals.

[T Park]

Seeing as they play two completely different positions.....

[Prime Time]

Seeing as they play two completely different positions.....
If Green misses substantial time the Spurs are down to 1 good Shooting Guard (Belinelli). Not to mention how San Antonio's starting PF/C is also out.. And of course there's the fact Spurs are still lacking a true back-up for Kawhi. Given those circumstances, it would make since to bring in a player who can play either forward position.

Thomas isn't by any means a promise to contribute, He could easily be another Hariston/Mensah-Bonsu. Hell, I doubt he becomes anything more than that. But it's worth a try at this point. I can't imagine a better situation for Thomas in terms of getting NBA play time with the Spurs.

[wildchild]

Green's injury means Marco returns to the starting lineup :bang
Beli has quickly adapted to the team and Pop has many good reasons to love the guy, but Beli D hurts this lineup as much as his great O helps

[Raven]

he'll be fine and this is a great chance for pop to see who hurts the D.

[ace3g]

That doesn't look good

Danny Green @DGreen_14
(https://twitter.com/DGreen_14)Good news. .. I'll be back in couple weeks instagram.com/p/jHeEpvS6_D/ (http://t.co/GCcDuTgCpg)

[loveforthegame]

Ugh. 2 weeks isn't so bad I guess.

[ace3g]

luckily it isn't his shooting hand

[timtonymanu]

Damn.

[Dex]

Good thing our team is all guards.

Thomas is a power forward. Not a wing.

[exstatic]

Thomas is a power forward. Not a wing.

He's actually a tweener at 225 lbs. He can guard 3s, and frankly, if he really does have an NBA three pointer, he can play the backup 3 on offense by just standing in the corner like Kawhi did as a rookie.

[superbigtime]

Shouldn't impact his fantastic trade value.

[Chomag]

staying out for a sprained hand/finger? Really!?! Players used to just tape that shit up and go! and we are talking about broken and or dislocated stuff. Such a pussified sport it is now lol

I know i'll get hate for saying this but it's true. anyone who has followed the sport for at least 20 years cant deny it.

[ace3g]

Paul Garcia PS @PaulGarciaPS
(https://twitter.com/PaulGarciaPS)#Spurs (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Spurs) say Danny Green has a nondisplaced fracture of his second metacarpal. Expected to miss 4-weeks.

San Antonio Spurs @spurs
(https://twitter.com/spurs)[RELEASE] Danny Green expected to miss approximately four weeks: nba.com/spurs/news/140… (http://t.co/B1EYzdyu3G)

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This injury doesn't bother me. Much more concerned about Tiago. Green has been slumping all year and his D has also been a little hit or miss.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Non-displaced fracture...

[Dex]

This injury doesn't bother me. Much more concerned about Tiago. Green has been slumping all year and his D has also been a little hit or miss.

The only reason it bothers me if it is to his shooting hand. Too lazy to go back at the tape to see tbh.

Hand injuries can take a while for shooters to get over completely. Will he be able to shoot a ball? Probably. Will he be able to shoot 40% from 3? We'll see.

Hell, it took Manu damn near a season and a half to find his shooting stroke again after breaking his hand.

[Dex]

UNLESS he goes Rookie Of The Year style on the league, and suddenly his broken hand allows him to shoot 99% from the arc.

Of course, Ray Allen will surely come down on Danny's hand in the big championship game, and Green will be forced to win the game using his determination and wit. Will he be able to do it? Only time will tell, tbh...

[timtonymanu]

The defense will suffer without Green especially against PGs.

The offense should be fine without him though. The Spurs have enough 3 point shooters.

Hate this news.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

:lol

[Bruno]

Well, it sucks but in the big picture, it isn't a that big deal. Spurs will make the playoffs and Green will be back well before it.

It's the opportunity for De Colo and Joseph to show what they can do. Now, it's up to them to grab that opportunity.

Not his shooting hand

[timtonymanu]

Yeah that's the silver lining. It's not his shooting hand.

[elemento]

Not a big issue as long as Beli/Manu/Kawhi remain healthy.

Good chance to De Colo and Joseph to show more than what they've shown so far !

[loveforthegame]

That sucks. :td

Better now than the playoffs though.

[Robz4000]

Sucks. Defense will take a hit but in the grand scheme of things it isn't a big deal.

[jermaine]

Can he still be traded?

[rick1991]

So is it 2 weeks or 4 weeks?? Danny says 2 but the media says 4.

[SpursFan86]

As others have said/implied, I'm more worried about the impact on our defense as opposed to us missing his shooting.

Oh well, 4 weeks isn't too bad. Though I'm starting to get a bit worried...Splitter/Manu/Green all injured within, what, a week and a half? Hopefully we're getting the injuries out of the way early on. Rather it be now than playoff time I guess.

[Dex]

Not his shooting hand

Well then, he should tape that shit up and play. It's not like he can dribble anyways...

[bklynspursfan]

Well then, he should tape that shit up and play. It's not like he can dribble anyways...

:lol That's for dam sure.

[DatBoyGood]

So Danny tweeted he'll be back in a couple weeks but retweeted the press saying he would miss four weeks.

[hater]

wrap up his hand and and himself as a trade package to another team. Great opportunity to trade Green. His value is still somewhat decent.

Sometimes destiny slaps you in the face to make a move, this is the slap that the Spurs front office needed. Do it mitch

[EVAY]

His value this year has been mostly on defense, and he has been pretty good on that when he is focused.

Overall problem with this is that for every player that goes out or can't play for whatever reason, it takes more effort and therefore there is more wear and tear on everybody else. Other players getting more fatigued making up for Manu's, Tiago's, and now Danny's absence is ultimately going to mean that the non-injured players right now become more injury prone.

[hater]

Hand injuries can take a while for shooters to get over completely. Will he be able to shoot a ball? Probably. Will he be able to shoot 40% from 3? We'll see.


except Green was currently shooting 33% in the last couple of months with 2 fully healthy hands.

[Dex]

except Green was currently shooting 33% in the last couple of months with 2 fully healthy hands.

Shh. You are not helping his trade value.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Well then, he should tape that shit up and play. It's not like he can dribble anyways...

:lol

[look_at_g_shred]

Fuck! Unlike most on this forum, I think Green is a big part of what we do. Especially on the defensive side. A lot of you think he's overrated on defense, and I think that's pretty dumb. That was some pretty "overrated defense" on Curry last year huh?

[polandprzem]

I wonder how much more time if any will De Colo earn.
he must have for sakes.

And if Pop gonna play Bonner more to have that 3 point threat

[ace3g]

This might be me thinking outside the box but what if we play Nando at back up SF spot? Are there any stats on the effectiveness of Nando at SF?

[crc21209]

Great. This really sucks. I don't have faith in De Colo or Joseph at all tbh. Gonna be up to Manu, Beli, and Mills to take on more minutes. .

[Chomag]

Would be a good chance to see what Thomas could bring at the NBA level, but yeah Pop probably doesn't even know his name

[Bruno]

This might be me thinking outside the box but what if we play Nando at back up SF spot? Are there any stats on the effectiveness of Nando at SF?

Nando played some SF in his last year in Spain. It was an emergency situation because of injuries and he wasn't that great. I remembered him especially struggling against Mirotic. Now, if the opponent isn't too big/strong, he should do relatively well. He is surprisingly crafty.

Parker said on his radio show today that he expected Manu to play against NO, so Manu will be the backup SF.

Mirotic is not really a SF, as far as I know he mostly plays PF in Euroleague.

[heyheymymy]

[Bruno]

Yep, he is a natural PF but, if my memory is right, De Colo was matched up against him in Spanish league a couple of years ago.

[monkeypunk]

My guess is Beli starts with Nando backing him at the 2 with Manu backing Kawhi at the 3. It would be nice to have Manu and Nando develop that Manu / Beli chemistry.

[slick'81]

Yup all the belli u can eat with Manu and Nandi thrown in

[DMC]

I think Pop sandbags it tonight against the Pelicans and though we might still pull one out, I doubt it.

[Chinook]

My guess is Thomas gets time as the second perimeter defender.

Anyway, Green clearly hurt his hand reaching in at the end of the first. Don't know why the media acts like it's a mystery.

[weebo]

I think Pop sandbags it tonight against the Pelicans and though we might still pull one out, I doubt it.

I don't see why Pop would not try to get this one. Prior to last night's game the Spurs were on a 3 day break.

[Bruno]

My guess is Beli starts with Nando backing him at the 2 with Manu backing Kawhi at the 3. It would be nice to have Manu and Nando develop that Manu / Beli chemistry.

It should be something like that but Pop could go with Joseph over De Colo as backup SG.

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Horrible luck. Gone for a month. The injuries are starting to pile up.

[heyheymymy]

Guys remember this is that part of the season where a vital rotation player goes out (Manu/Green/Splitter this time around) and some role player gets his chance to shine and ends up proving himself and getting a bigger role. I recall Neal stepping up when Manu went out, what was it, 2012? and getting a more consistent role afterwards.

[SayTown]

Last night they said it was a sprain and x rays were negative and he could return to the game and today his finger is fractured, weird

[cd021]

Another wuss goes down. He and Tiago can go to the mall and shop for little shorts that say "Pink" on the derriere now.

I could care less what they were on their off days

They happen to be 2 our better defenders...

[cd021]

Horrible luck. Gone for a month. The injuries are starting to pile up.

Just like last season, Lost Leonard and Captain for a month. within 3 games of each other.

[Budkin]

4 weeks?? Smfh

[PÒÓCH]

your wright, aint don't madder what they were, I stand corekted.

[HI-FI]

:lol Dex and hater with the GM goods in this one.


not thrilled about injury but least we get to see what others can bring to the table in bigger roles. whoever replaces Green, hopefully they don't fly past defender on every 3 point fake.

[ajballer4]

I would guess CoJo backs up the 1, Mills swings to back up the 2, and Manu backs up the 3.

[ajballer4]

At least on O. I would guess CoJo still defends the 2

Wasn't that how Kawhi came into prominence as well?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

No.

[ajballer4]

The RJ trade put him the starting lineup, that's what really put him on the scene. All of ST knew he was starting caliber though

[KaiRMD1]

My mistake, for some reason, I think it was next man up with him.

[ChumpDumper]

[cd021]

your wright, aint don't madder what they were, I stand corekted.

:lol I wrote the last line and then copied and pasted it to the top and forgot to delete it from the bottom. But my point is they are big reasons why we are so good defensively. They aren't soft. Its all perception.

[spurraider21]

i don't understand the Green trade talk. he's on a very friendly contract tbh

[HarlemHeat37]

Pop was just starting to run the lineup of TP/Green/Kawhi/Diaw/TD, which is the Spurs most effective lineup IMO, so this is a setback in that regard..

I agree with the others that said the timing of the injury shouldn't matter, it's still relatively early in the season and these games are mostly meaningless, tbh..the Thunder have looked mediocre without Westbrook and Portland is regressing to their expected level of play, so it shouldn't hurt in the standings..

I also agree with the poster that said these types of injuries allow others to step up, but the Spurs don't really have legit alternatives at the moment:lol..Joseph and DeColo are ass, tbh..it would be interesting if Thomas got some minutes, I'd like to see him get a chance like James Johnson has gotten in Memphis..

[PÒÓCH]

:lol I wrote the last line and then copied and pasted it to the top and forgot to delete it from the bottom. But my point is they are big reasons why we are so good defensively. They aren't soft. Its all perception.

Ok give me the comparative statistics that prove your point.

[Chinook]

Has he even been recalled?

Dunno, but I think he will as soon as Pop rests Manu again. Four weeks is a long time. I understand De Colo getting time at the two, but Green played a lot of three and even some minutes at the four. So it's not like some have said where Thomas and Green don't play the same position at all.

[Juggity]

This is pretty bad news imo, if only because it is stacked on other existing injuries. I was expecting this injury to keep him out for 2 weeks, not 4.

Without Green and Splitter the spurs become at best an average defensive team. Those are 2 key cogs.

[hater]

can't really agree on Green's D. Sure it's decent, and his athleticism helps him come back on shooters and block shots. But he's nothing special on the defensive end.

I do agree on Splitter, Splitter is key to the entire Spurs defensive scheme. He will be sorely missed. Although Diaw and now Aires seem to be picking up the slack. only time will tell

[Ice009]

I also agree with the poster that said these types of injuries allow others to step up, but the Spurs don't really have legit alternatives at the moment:lol..Joseph and DeColo are ass, tbh..it would be interesting if Thomas got some minutes, I'd like to see him get a chance like James Johnson has gotten in Memphis..

Didn't the Spurs bring James Johnson in during the off-season for a look/workout? Does anyone remember? A few posters were actually mentioning him as a possible off-season signing. I wonder why they didn't at least give him a training camp invite to see what he could do.

[ezau]

Spurs just need to be healthy in the playoffs. Better for this to happen now than in March or April.

[313]

We're better off without the scrub tbfh

[cjw]

This is pretty bad news imo, if only because it is stacked on other existing injuries. I was expecting this injury to keep him out for 2 weeks, not 4.

Without Green and Splitter the spurs become at best an average defensive team. Those are 2 key cogs.

Average at best is awfully harsh. Have you seen some of the teams out there? That would put them in the same zone as the Washingtons and Bostons of the world (who get to pad their schedule against Eastern Conference competition).

Giving up 95 on the road tonight when your defensive anchor fouls out and the other team hits ~3 more threes than they normally would (7 for 10) isn't too shabby either.

[313]

Since splitter the scrub went down we've allowed, 90, 86, and 95 points by our opponents. Diaw starting >>>>>>>>>>>>>

[SupremeGuy]

Green's defense could have been helpful tonight, tbh.

[cd021]

Ok give me the comparative statistics that prove your point.

10-11 season the Spurs were 11th in defensive rating. Both Splitter and Green seldom played
11-12-Spurs 10th in defensive rating both Green and Splitter rotation players. Green started 38 games.
12-13-Spurs are 2nd in defensive rating with both Green and Splitter starting. Both played 2000+ minutes and appeared in ,at least, 80 games.

The parker-Green-Leonard-Duncan-Diaw lineup last season-92 points per 100 possessions
Parker-Green-Leonard-Duncan-Splitter- lineup last season-87 points per 100 possesions

Green had the highest +/- on the team last season.

Splitter was second on the team in defensive win share, Green was 4th.

When Green as the primary defender from game 3-6 against the Warriors, Steph Curry shot just 26-71 (36%)

also the Parker-Green-Leonard-Duncan-Splitter were the 17 points better per 100 possessions than any other Spurs lineup in last seasons playoffs.

This season Splitter's defensive rating is at 101 (same as last season) Green has played the 5th most minutes of any player on the Spurs and has the 3rd best defensive rating behind Duncan and Leonard. He is also 3rd in defensive win shares behind those same players.

[cd021]

The Parker-Green-Leonard-Duncan-Diaw lineup last season-92 points per 100 possessions
Parker-Green-Leonard-Duncan-Splitter- lineup last season-87 points per 100 possessions

Funny you didn't mention the game at Memphis were we gave up 108 to a mediocre offense who struggles at home.:lmao

Also The Mavs didn't have Marion and resorted to playing a small front line who got crushed on the glass.

The Pelicans were without Evans and Holiday. They combine for 30 ppg and 11 assists.

The Minnesota game was a good one defensively. But you can't trot out a bunch of mediocre teams playing with out key players and claim the Spurs are better off without Splitter.:lol

[cd021]

can't really agree on Green's D. Sure it's decent, and his athleticism helps him come back on shooters and block shots. But he's nothing special on the defensive end.

I do agree on Splitter, Splitter is key to the entire Spurs defensive scheme. He will be sorely missed. Although Diaw and now Aires seem to be picking up the slack. only time will tell

He can be marginal at times, but usually does a great job on quick PGs. Westbrook can't seem to hit the side of a barn with Green guarding him dating back to last season. Green also helped cool off Curry in the WCF. After he became the primary defender Curry hit only 26 of his 71 shots from game 3-6 (36%) that allowed Leonard to shut down Thompson. He also does a good job on small forwards. He was the big reason we got through the month with out Leonard and Jackson, without taking much of a hit in the win loss department.

[Sean Cagney]

Spurs just need to be healthy in the playoffs. Better for this to happen now than in March or April.

Your damn right.........

[ezau]

Green may be inconsistent offensively this season, but the Spurs will need him in defending guards and forwards.

[superbigtime]

Sucky situation. Green is likely not going to be involved in any trade, as if that were going to happen anyway. He's not been in a good offensive rhythym all season and now it's going to take that much longer. Just hope he stays in shape and heals quickly. Spurs are going to miss him and this just means more minutes for old Manu.

[Chinook]

I think it's a good thing. Pop's been trying to find a way to depend less on Green all year. That's why he's been giving Kawhi all the hardest defensive assignments (it was about 50-50 last season) and why he was trying Beli as a starter. Now, the team HAS to figure out how to play without him.

This means more experience for Leonard and more importantly it gives Cory a chance to show he can be that tertiary defender the team desperately needs. If he can't handle it, it will probably force the Spurs to make a minor trade and/or give Thomas minutes. Thats the Spurs play some teams with multiple perimeter threats over the next three weeks should help sort this situation outm

[PÒÓCH]

10-11 season the Spurs were 11th in defensive rating. Both Splitter and Green seldom played
11-12-Spurs 10th in defensive rating both Green and Splitter rotation players. Green started 38 games.

Got it, The defensive duo that is Green/Splitter will not be haunting any adversaries in the near future. I'm sure the consortium of competitors are all breathing a big sigh of relief. Thank Allah we have them on our team. Your next research project: Find a great homemade absinthe recipe sans thujone.

It's not sarcasm. How can you detect it? Is it my tone inflection? You've completly proved your point. Splitter/Green are a tenatious defensive duo to which the league should fear and the Spurs must make a conserted effort to preserve and retain at all cost. They are invaluable...... Still waiting on the Absinthe recipe.

Finally some good news.


Pop says Green should be ready to return next week.

That is great news. Maybe the team can start getting stops now that Green and Splitter are back.

[Raven]

solid bump tbh

[TheGoldStandard]

So he was ready to go last week

[loveforthegame]

Great news. :tu

[Chinook]

Hopefully, Joseph still starts and Beli and 10-Day can be the bench wings.

[timtonymanu]

Yes! Finally getting a perimeter defender back!

[gospursgojas]

Nooowww everyone loves Green.

Jk, I was one of those who was not impressed with him this season, and realized his value as a stopper once he was out.

[phxspurfan]

He's not really a stopper, but when his 3 ball is raining, he can play defense better than any 10 day or bust backup PG

[Random5843]

He'd better be dribbling 24hs a day.

[Dex]

He'd better be dribbling 24hs a day.

If I were Pop, I would make Green dribble a basketball everywhere he goes until he can figure it the fuck out.

[capek]

Finally some good news.

For Amused you mean. You know he's just waiting in the wings for the Spurs to get a few guys back, get us feeling safe and excited again, before he swoops in an wreaks his dark voodoo black magic, causing maximum psychic and emotion damage. :depressed :depressed :depressed

I never realized how much he really means to the team until he went down, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

I never realized how much he really means to the team until he went down, tbh.

I understand the frustrations with Danny Green at times, but I feel like he was still underrated. His defense is what is valuable to this team imo. His 3 point shooting is just the kicker.

It's just too bad we couldn't make good on his shining moments of Games 1-5 before the Heat realized how to play him. He'll never go off like that again in the playoffs, let alone against the Heat if we ever matched up with them again down the road. It's just the learning curve of the league, tbh. Hopefully, he can maintain his solid D and find other ways to be useful on offense.
