Spurs Injury Report 12/26/14

Please be advised of the following injuries for tonight’s game at New Orleans:



Kawhi Leonard (bruised right hand) – out
Patty Mills (right shoulder surgery) – out

Tony Parker (mild strain, left hamstring) – out

[BillMc]

Guess this means Tim probably plays.

I wonder how long Tony will go in and out of the lineup? Maybe Pop won't let him do back to backs on that hamstring yet.

[Juggity]

so how many games will it be before Patty comes back? I'm on board with resting him some more, but I don't know if it makes sense to rest him for weeks/months if he's nearly ready to go now. Plus, I'd argue the spurs need any boost they can get right now.

[spurs10]

I can't imagine Tim playing tonight. Wow if he does.

[Chomag]

Sigh...

[SupremeGuy]

It would have been really nice if we won those triple OT games and didn't blow leads against the Suns, Kings, and Lakers right now. Oh well. Let's just stay afloat until we get healthy. That's all we can do.

[Budkin]

I have a feeling we win tonight. That loss against them at home will be good motivation.

[cd98]

I imagine we won't have a full team until mid January and that is assuming no new injuries.

[GrandeDavid]

Why don't they just put Kawhi under the friggin knife and get it over with! See ya next season Kawhi!

What a brutal start to the season and the wrong injuries. I'd rather it be Tim out so he could rest. This team is just a mess without Kawhi and Tony piecemeal.

+1 And "mild strain" too. :rolleyes

[look_at_g_shred]

Why aren't they listing Kawhi's injury as a torn ligament?

[beirmeistr]

I cant figure out TPs injury. Usually, when someone is coming back from an injury, Pop will bring them off the bench so they can gradually get stronger. WITH tP on this injury, he starts TP and Parker moves around pretty well but is not quite synchronized with the team yet. WHy bring him back if keeps being bothered by the injury?

AFAIK, he's just not playing B2Bs yet. He didn't re-aggravate it.

Oh, I thought I saw him listed as injured.

[Pauleta14]

That sucks! We need wins badly...

I'm worried for Kawhi, not only for this season, but for the long term, he gives everything on the court à la RW and his body obviously can't handle it.
I don't know how many injuries/games missed he has already in his 4th year only but it seems way too much!
Let's hope it's just Pop being Pop/too conservative...

Regarding TP, either he came back too early or it could be the worst, if you look the his mileage in 14(!!!) season, the use of speed, the loops, the hits and fall on the floor...

Again, let's hope it's just Pop being Pop...

[kaji157]

As shitty as our record is, what is worrying is the fact that we are riding TD and Manu a lot, they are the ones carryng the load when really it was Leonard, Parker and Tiago inside who were suppose to do it.
That´s what is really frustrating to me. Because i think we are going nowhere with this team complete if Manu and Tim are tired as hell.
For sure the fact that we´ll have a all star week this year will be a blessing for those two guys.

[FkLA]

OMG 14 years!! As if Timmy and Manu don't have 5+ more years under their belt. This French pussy is going to end up being the reason one of them end up suffering a legit injury.

Hopefully Kawhi and Patty can give them some well deserved rest when they come back.

[FkLA]

I wonder if there is anybody in the entire league that has missed a game with a 'mild strain'? Yet here we have Enrique sitting out weeks. Pretty fucking repulsive tbh.

[FkLA]

Derrick Rose who is universally considered a pussy was day to day with the same injury. What a joke. :lol
