Grade 1 calf strain symptoms


Grade 1 calf strain is a minor tear with up to 10% of the muscle fibers effected. The athlete will feel a twinge of pain in the back of the lower leg. They may be able to carry on playing or competing in mild discomfort. There is likely to be tightness and aching in the calf muscles two to five days after injury.

Grade 2 calf strain symptoms


Symptoms of a grade 2 calf strain will be more severe than a grade one with up to 90% of the muscle fibers torn. A sharp pain at the back of the lower leg will be felt with significant pain walking. There is likely to be swelling in the calf muscle with mild to moderate bruising. Pain will be felt on resisted plantar flexion or pushing the foot downwards against resistance. There may be tightness and aching in the calf muscle for a week or more.

Grade 3 calf strain symptoms


There will be severe immediate pain at the back of the lower leg. The athlete will be unable to continue and unable to walk. There will be considerable bruising and swelling appearing and the athlete will be unable to even contract the calf muscle. In the case of a full rupture, often there is deformity where the muscle can be seen to be bunched up towards the top of the calf. A grade three is a near, or complete rupture of the muscle.

Good god man I thought we were past this crap. At least its not the hammy again.

They're going to amputate. Manu will announce his retirement tomorrow.

nu uh... he was so-so

[703 Spurz]

Fucking taco filler that guy

[HarlemHeat37]

Don't really need him in the 1st round, tbh, but hopefully it's nothing serious or with lingering potential..

[ElNono]

he was chillin in the bench at the end, I can't think it's a season/career ender...

[TMTTRIO]

CoM trying to laugh this stuff off after he blew the Finals. :lol
well you don't want him to play in the finals anyways so it should be good news for some.

[Mugen]

Sounds like it was just a bruise as he was frogging on the bench in the 4th. This just means that Nono will only get him 6mil/year on his next contract tbh.

[HI-FI]

nu uh... he was so-so
:lol
CoM like Radical Islam up in here.

[TheGreatYacht]

If the injury is serious, Spurs might have a chance vs Miami

Mugen gets it, tbh... there's deals yet to be made...

I want both him and Enrique playing well as I want the Spurs to win. Just tired when they screw up, their fanbases have to start spinning.

FWIW, I said he played really poorly last playoffs... no spin there, IMO

true. It took El Ocho for that to happen, but least you sort of admitted it. :lol

no spin here, but I hope both Manu and Enrique are good to go for the entire postseason.

I love both of them... even though only one of them is in his prime, has been called the leader of this team, and thus more is expected of him... that said, Tony is good too, but his miles were eventually going to catch up to him...

:lol

kneed in the calf... probably barea... :ihit

Barea's not tall enough, he can only bite Manu's ankle

Spurs should just not even bother to show up for the playoffs. Hang the Regular Season Champs!© banner and call it a season. [/snark]

That's what everyone said in 2011. Then we lost to the Grizzlies.

[Sean Cagney]

If both are ready to go that will be very good news.

[timtonymanu]

That's what everyone said in 2011. Then we lost to the Grizzlies.

That's because Manu was the best player on the team that year. Duncan was broken down at the time and Parker wasn't playing at his 2012/2013 MVP level. Plus RJ/Hill/McDyess were in place of Leonard/Green/Splitter.

No doubt, I would rather have Manu play in the 1st round, but the Spurs are already so stacked that he won't be as needed.

[heyheymymy]

sounds like it was a bruise and he should rest but won't miss any significant time. hope that's the case, he's been play well lately. he always gets hurt right when he starts to play well.

[Sybok]

Manu setting up his alibi.

[superjames1992]

If it were the playoffs, he probably plays tomorrow.

With CIA Pop being CIA Pop, Manu may not see the floor until the end of the regular season, though. Good excuse to rest him. :lol

To be fair, Nono has to protect his client for the next gouging, I mean, contract negotiations :lol
