Danny Green Injury

[BadOne]

Didn't see a thread on this, so my bad if there's one already. Mods feel free to lock up.

Any word on Danny? Saw he went to the back and didn't return.

[DesignatedT]

Mid foot sprain. Apparently giving him some trouble before the game even tipped off. Probably isn't a bit deal but I'm sure he will sit out a couple games.

[SpursFan86]

Hopefully he'll be back by the time we play Indiana (next Monday). That's when things really get tough. He should rest as long as he needs though to ensure he's fine come playoffs.

[Robz4000]

Sit him until we play Indy.

[BadOne]

Wow, thanks for the update man. I agree, better for him to miss now than the playoffs.

[EVAY]

We need Green for sure. Hope he gets well quickly but mostly just hope he gets well for the playoffs.

[Leetonidas]

Couldn't have been too serious considering he hit the three before the half. Probably a little sore during halftime and Pop decided not to take any chances. Hopefully he'll back against Indy

[BatManu20]

Rest him until Indy, if not longer. We need him healthy for the playoffs.

[poeticism707]

Spurs are snake bit.

If we lose any our key role players, Spurs ain't going no where in the Playoffs.

[spurraider21]

Mid foot sprains are a big concern in the nfl because they often end up being the dreaded linsfranc sprain. I don't think it's nearly as common a basketball injury so I'm not too concerned considering he knew about it pregame and still played an played well

[DPG21920]

If Amused was really on his game, he would have started this thread and brought the house down with the subtle goods..

[r0drig0lac]

Amused f...ot

[LakerHater]

Pop mentioned "plantar fasciitis"

[crc21209]

Yeah sit him for the next Denver game and the New Orleans game. They're really gonna need him next week for the games @ Indy, vs. GS, and @ OKC. I really don't wanna see Beli getting torched by Thompson...

[superbigtime]

Get well Very soon Danny. Foot sprains can linger so heal the fuck up. Please :)

[SpursFan86]

Pop mentioned "plantar fasciitis"


Fuck...isn't that what bothered Noah a lot in the past? I seem to recall him playing like shit when he tried to play through it too...

[timtonymanu]

Pop mentioned "plantar fasciitis"

Fuck.

[TE]

Pop mentioned "plantar fasciitis"

Where? Is this a response given in a post game interview?

Pop, who is not a doctor, is guessing "plantar fasciitis or something like that" on Danny Green.

10:05pm*- 26 Mar 14

[ElNono]

well, that's not gonna go away in a game or three... probably just gonna have to play with it until the summer

[HI-FI]

fuck i hope it ain't serious. ST about to full blown emo. Just need some health.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

"all of a sudden he just couldn't walk on it" -Pop

[Mugen]

Yeah, if it it's that then he's been playing with it for a while and he's just gonna have to tough it out the rest of the way tbh.

[InRareForm]

nothing major, take it easy

[T Park]

Had a boot on post game. In good spirits though.

[spurtech09]

just a foot sprain ....theres no doubt about it danny will be ready come playoffs.....people are making a big deal about it

[superjames1992]

The Marco signing becomes that much more pivotal. R.I.P Danny Green.

[DPG21920]

Sigh

[LakerHater]

Danny Green did say he doesn't expect to miss any games, & Popovich didn't rule him out Friday

[heyheymymy]

rip lob

[SpursFan86]

Danny Green did say he doesn't expect to miss any games, & Popovich didn't rule him out Friday


He said that after the game?

I really would prefer him to miss our next 2 games...although if it is in fact plantar fascitiis, 3 or 4 extra days off isn't going to make a big difference.

[Mugen]

It's okay guys, at least Amused was able to use his "Denver McNuggets" pun tbh.

[spurtech09]

Danny Green did say he doesn't expect to miss any games, & Popovich didn't rule him out Friday

he should rest intill the indie game...

[SpurPadre]

well, that's not gonna go away in a game or three... probably just gonna have to play with it until the summer

Like Timmy did years ago. DG is no Timmy but several players play through plantar fasciitis. It's something you deal with. As a long-distance runner, I've had it a couple times and dealt with it just fine. Now we're talking about a millionaire with better resources dealing with it. He'll be fine.

[superbigtime]

Danny Green did say he doesn't expect to miss any games, & Popovich didn't rule him out Friday
That is excellent to hear. Hopefully this is no big deal.

[itzsoweezee]

He's getting an x-ray. this is not a good sign. that guy is indispensable for the team. and players do not recover from leg injuries quickly.

[weeks]

if it's plantar fascitis then i'm pretty concerned tbh. that shit lingers and hurts like crazy

[ElNono]

hope it's not gangrene...

[freetiago]

we didnt even see anything happen to him
Dannys been having alot of mild injuries that he tells Pop and he says hes gametime decision then he ends up playing

his hand had been bothering him for a couple games but he still played well and was draining 3s
I remember him being 50/50 to play in the Portland game and he came out firing

[SpurPadre]

if it's plantar fascitis then i'm pretty concerned tbh. that shit lingers and hurts like crazy

It's something many athletes deal with and with proper treatment, he should be able to play through it and still do the same things to his ability. If he were an explosive player, then yes, it would be concerning but it shouldn't affect his game.

[TVI]

Plantar fasciitis was often used as the go to "injury" that teams would list to keep 15 guys on the active roster, back when you could only carry 12 active players.

Hope it's nothing serious. Danny's been important to the team lately.

Who gets the start on Friday?

[Chinook]

I'd start Joseph if Green can't go against Denver. Keeps the bench together and allows someone to defend Foye.

I'm concerned with PF. Green needs his athleticism to defend at a high level. Kawhi is going to have his work cut out for him.

[TampaDude]

Man...y'all are a bunch of fucking rays of sunshine ain't ya...Green will be fine...relax...

[BillMc]

He's getting an x-ray. this is not a good sign.

May be nothing, may be big. Depends on what this shows. I think Pop's "plantar fasciatis (sp)" was offhand, not a diagnosis. He said "all of a sudden he couldn't walk" Could be a foot strain, bone bruise, break. We'll have to wait a see.

[wildchild]

The Marco signing becomes that much more pivotal. R.I.P Danny Green.

So we would rely on Marco's D? Well we'll be dead...

According to this Green left the locker room in a walking boot.

Sounds like a break to my layperson ears. Been hurting for a week and he can't run normally? Hello first round loss if true, tbh.

Already stated earlier. Doesn't really mean much, could just be precautionary. Green not being too concerned about it is a good sign IMO.

[objective]

I'm also surprised there v was no xray at halftime, isn't that pretty routine nowadays?

with any luck this is all just some BS pop mindgame.

[Sean Cagney]

Things were going to well for this not to happen...... I mean it too something eerie about our win streak and SHIT going too well! It just seems like setting us up for failure sadly.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

It's okay guys, at least Amused was able to use his "Denver McNuggets" pun tbh.

Waited weeks to bust that out :toast

[Robz4000]

Seasons over, everyone go home imo.

[SpurPadre]

But even if it isn't, it's not a worst-case scenario. When TD had pf, he still played all the way through it. It's manageable.

Thankfully the ST medical staff have all turned in their respective diagnoses.

if its plantar fasciitis, not good at all

hopefully its not

[Robz4000]

Better Plantar Fasciitus than a fracture or break tbh.

Watched the news and Danny left the arena wearing a hard plastic boot from foot to calf. He gave the cameraman a thumbs up.

Hell be fine for playoffs.

It won't even be that serious but were still over 3 weeks out until the playoffs tip off.

Green will probably miss a couple games but he'll be ready to go for our title run.

Amazing how ST goes from [At the start of the season till now]

"He can't dribble" or "he's a one-trick pony"

to "we need him if we have any chance of making it back to the finals."

[loveforthegame]

Green also tweeted that his hand wasn't a big deal and he'd be out 2 weeks tops. Forgive me if I wait until someone else confirms it's good news.

[Fireball]

Amazing how ST goes from [At the start of the season till now]

"He can't dribble" or "he's a one-trick pony"

to "we need him if we have any chance of making it back to the finals." I never bought that one-trick pony stuff anyways because he can play (great) defense against guards - we need him against Curry, Paul and maybe Harden - and he can make the three pointer. That's already two tricks, and he showed improvement in going to the basket and finishing as well as in the pick and roll game, especially with Tiago Splitter. Danny Green is more of a two-way player than most players ín the NBA ...

[Budkin]

[look_at_g_shred]

My boy! Danny, aside from the Diaw addition, has been one of the top reasons why the spurs still have title hopes. (of course KL as well)

[spurtech09]

danny green should still sit out a game or 2 just to get some rest

[SpursFan86]

Yeah, I'd still like to see him rest until we play Indiana.

[spurs10]

Bet his foot hurts either way. Bet he rides the pine in Weedland.

[wildbill2u]

When TD had trouble with plantar faciatis he was missing two foot shots. I thought his career was finished. Playing with it can be done, depending on the pain tolerance of the individual, but as anyone who's had it will tell you, the pain is a bitch and sometimes you literally can't walk on it.

[Embedded]

After sitting against Philadelphia, Danny Green came out with more energy against Denver than I have ever seen him have!!! I mean, wow! Dude was on fire, what did he drink a 2-liter Pepsi and a Jethro bowl of Skittles (Lamar Odom's standard breakfast) before the game?!? I too would like for him to maybe sit a game or two, or is this the kind of injury that doesn't benefit from that? Might be more sore if he doesn't constantly work it? MY wife has plantar fasciitis.

[Splits]

SAN ANTONIO — An MRI taken on Danny Green’s sore right foot came back clear this morning, and the Spurs’ starting shooting guard message expects to fly with the team to Denver later this afternoon.Green confirmed the news via text message to the Express-News.

The Spurs face the Nuggets on Friday night at the Pepsi Center, two nights after holding on for a 108-103 victory over Denver in San Antonio.

Green started hot in that game, hitting five 3-pointers in the first half for 16 points, but couldn’t finish due to what the team called a mid-right foot strain. Green said he first began feeling pain in the foot Saturday at Golden State, and nearly did not take the floor at all against Denver.

Though the 26-year-old Green will travel on the one-game trip to Denver, his availability will be left in the hands of coach Gregg Popovich. The Spurs did not schedule a practice today, meaning Green’s next chance to test the foot will come at shootaround Friday morning in Denver.

[Chinook]

Green's a workhorse. Pop rarely rests him if he can go. But with the B2B coming up, may sit Green one of the games. I'd rather sit him for Denver, as they don't have many perimeter threats outside of Lawson. NO has Gordon and Evans.

Gordan's been out for a week and prolly won't play Saturday iirc. I'd sit him for both.

I've had it on two occasions and I'm a long-distance runner and I still kept running. With proper treatment, it went away. In DG's and TD's case, we're talking about millionaire pro-athletes with better resources to get better treatment than I had so...DG will be fine.

[spurs1990]

You can't criticize People for not being clairvoyant.

It's taken another season but DG has proven his worth.

"He can't dribble" or "he's a one-trick pony"

to "we need him if we have any chance of making it back to the finals."

[Gummi Clutch]

meh . Non-issue.

Only idiots or total newbies thought DG was a one trick pony anywhere in the last 2 years.

His elite (not shut down, but elite), and versatile defense, and elite and clutch 3 point shooting, in regular season, playoffs, finals, make him maybe the best role player on the Spurs, as well as the NBA.

Contenders would be frothing at the mouth to have Green.

Can you imagine him signing with OKC after this season, killing it from 3, and locking up old, slow, beat up, broke J having Parker?

OKC would murder the Spurs with just that one role player defecting.

The Spurs are elite, they are hungry, they are title favorites, but if they lose anyone in/for the playoffs, including key role players like DG, Kawi, or Splitter, then the Spurs are done.

[hater]

foot inflamation???

that's how Bob Marley died tbh :cry

[superjames1992]

Ugh, the prospect of Green ending up on another team and getting to shut down Enrique is scary. Enrique wouldn't stand a chance against the length of Green. :cry

gold. so true, make up your mind ST

[superjames1992]

So we would rely on Marco's D? Well we'll be dead...
Nope, but at least we have another viable guard.

[superjames1992]

BTW, I don't think losing Green would doom our title chances. It would hurt, for sure, but we could still do it. Everyone outside of Timmy/Enrique/Manu/Kawhi is expendable, IMO, though losing any of Green/Tiago/Boris/Marco/Patty would hurt (especially Tiago/Green).

[HI-FI]

great news. just hope this team can be healthy as possible, especially with the way Pop tries to help with the minutes.

I've been on the Green bandwagon since he began starting a couple of seasons ago. I've defended him plenty of times. Still quite a few (not all, if that's the problem you had) thought Green was overrated. Now that he has an injury scare, there are four pages of get well posts After the Finals many on ST posted about how they hoped he'd take to the gym to improve his dribbling. Hater actually started a thread about whether a team has won a title, without a guard that can't dribble.

[Ice009]

about whether a team has one a title without a that can't dribble.

can you repeat this?

[Biernutz]

I had planter factitious and it feels like the worse bone bruise in your heel
you will ever have. It's a tendon thing and I had two steroid shots in my heel
because nothing else I tried gave me any relief. The way I finally found some
relief was with New balance pressure relief innersoles that I put in my shoes
and learning to lace my shoes a different way to prevent heel slip of the shoe
on my foot.

I mistyped that the actual thread title is "Has an NBA team ever won a ship starting a guy that can't"

:lmao @ someone calling Danny Green an elite defender. He is a good defensive player but he certainly is not an elite perimeter defender in the NBA

[Duncanoypi]

Danny Green (foot) doesn't think he'll miss any time due to his sore right foot.

[21209]

Even if Danny made the trip and is listed day-to-day, Pop won't play him for at least for a week or maybe more just to be safe.

[webshad]

When Green hits those 3s, it's amazing! Love his stance much better than Mills' and Marco's.

Mills moves backward and Marco moves forward a bit. But Green's 3s is the best looking one (my opinion).

[Chinook]

Green's 25 threes from getting 500 in a Spurs' uniform. I believe he's only 89 from passing up Elliott. That's including the playoffs, though. Add 76 to the numbers for regular-season totals.

[313]

Green is a 3 and D guy, who can barely dribble(I think he's improved a little). He's an important piece for the Spurs, but to say he's anything more is a reach.

tbh

[SpursFan86]

Green out for tonight's game per McDonald.

[superbigtime]

Not a surprise. Rest up, heal up.
