[Robz4000]

Looked bad

[SpurSwag]

It didn't look bad at all, though he does have a bad ankle history. I'm gonna say he's out for 2 weeks

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Lol pop playing him in a blow out

[spurraider21]

why couldn't it have been kobe instead

[Mugen]

Looked like a very bad sprain, i'd say 2-3 weeks tbh.

[ace3g]

It was already a crappy weekend, now this...

[spurraider21]

Looked like a very bad sprain, i'd say 2-3 weeks tbh.
2-3 weeks is a mild sprain for manu

[DesignatedT]

Didn't look bad. Grade 1 or very minor grade 2 sprain. 2-4 weeks. Prob right around 3 weeks is my guess for an older fellow.

[Uriel]

Fuck my life.

[ElNono]

can't go out like this... this is a good time to hand him a 2 year extension, tbh...

[Mugen]

Spurs now look pretty fuckin' dumb for cutting Austin Daye tbh.....

[Sec24Row7]

Wouldnt even put weight on it. Didn't even try.

[stephen jackson]

didnt look that bad...
but he couldnt walk soooooo hes probably fucked

[spurraider21]

can't go out like this... this is a good time to hand him a 2 year extension, tbh...
:cry haters who say he can't come back will only fuel him

[siraulo23]

it did look bad

[timtonymanu]

Oh great. This guy always gets hurt against Minnesota.

[ace3g]

Hopefully there is some truth to this:

Michael Erler @MichaelErlerSBN
(https://twitter.com/MichaelErlerSBN)The good news, ironically, is that Ginobili appeared to be in a lot of pain. If it was an Achilles tear, from what I know, it doesn't hurt

[cantthinkofanything]

Didn't look bad. Grade 1 or very minor grade 2 sprain. 2-4 weeks. Prob right around 3 weeks is my guess for an older fellow.It didn't look bad. That's why I'm hoping he didn't fuck up his Achilles instead.

[DesignatedT]

His reaction was bad, the actually roll wasn't that bad. It didn't go all the way over or anything. my guess is 3-4 weeks max.

[Bartleby]

Lol pop playing him in a blow out

I was surprised Leonard was also on the floor so long in the third.

[lil'mo]

It did not look bad, anyone who thinks that looked like a bad ankle roll is stupid and has probably never sprained an ankle. :rolleyes

The only concerning factor is that it looked like the ankle was already taped, so it was more of a retweak

[timtonymanu]

:lol Pop's carelessness this year with his old players.

This is the same guy that would sit everyone on b2bs all the time.

[RD2191]

manu plz:cry

[SpursFan86]

easy schedule for the next week or so...hopefully it doesn't keep him out much longer than that

[Uriel]

Maybe he's just being a drama queen. Tim looked like he was about to die when he injured his elbow a couple of games ago, yet he's perfectly fine now.

[coachmac87]

Looked like a broken ankle...the way he immediately pulled up on it and couldn't put any pressure..

[ElNono]

as long as it's not a season or career ender, we'll be ok...

[cantthinkofanything]

Looked like a broken ankle...the way he immediately pulled up on it and couldn't put any pressure..Shut up Tranny.

This, but I'm really worried it is.

[BillMc]

My bad week gets worse. Hopefully just a sprain. We should hear something before the end of the game, right? Right?

[Mikeanaro]

Right ankle sprain then, thank you God.

His wasn't serious. He's had a rib contusion every season since he got here and only missed two games or so.

You dont have a diploma, his ankle was not break in 2 or 56 parts I saw lots of ER episodes in the 90s Im qualified.

[coachmac87]

Who the fuck is Wes Matthews?

Joke of the day!!

[ThaBigFundamental21]

No way no how. Him landing on another guys foot is BAD news!!! That usually ends up being a lengthy injury. Fingers are crossed right now.

[timtonymanu]

His wasn't serious. He's had a rib contusion every season since he got here and only missed two games or so.

Thanks. Just like how Manu always seems to get injured when he plays the T-Wolves these days.

[TheGreatYacht]

Rest will be great for Manu... But Baynes is hurt too? For fucks sake. Not Errors

[coachmac87]

When I broke my ankle in High School my dad refused to take me to the doctor and said it's just a sprain...spent 3 days home from school. Yeah shit was broken lol

[unleashbaynes]

Rolled my ankle getting a rebound/landing on a foot last August and the motherfucker STILL clicks. Not good

[ElNono]

he was playing great too.... only had 4 turnovers this game

But was he watching ER? maybe he didnt get it right...maybe you broke it while going to the doctor hurting the sprain :downspin:

[SupremeGuy]

Just looked like a sprain to me, tbh. Everyone needs to chill the fuck out.

[DesignatedT]

I've broken both my ankles and sprained both multiple times. I've had sprains that hurt 100x more then when I broke them. Just thought Id share that. Anyway, from looking at it, I would be surprised if he was out any longer then 4 weeks and that's just because he's old. Westbrook would be out 1-2 weeks with that same sprain manu just experienced.

[UZER]

When I broke my ankle in High School my dad refused to take me to the doctor and said it's just a sprain...spent 3 days home from school. Yeah shit was broken lol

:lol i have a similar story. I broke my collar bone in HS and my dad didn't take me to the doctor for a week saying the same thing happened to him when he was young and I would he fine. Yup...x-ray showed a clean snap right in the middle.

[ElNono]

tbh, feeling lucky I didn't buy tix for the Knicks game...

[coachmac87]

What worries me the most is the way he pulled up and grabbed it in mid air...Manu has sprained ankles many times and I don't think I have seen him react like that..

[ElNono]

he had that ankle taped already... probably the pain of spraining an already banged up ankle

[coachmac87]

: lol i have a similar story. I broke my collar bone in HS and my dad didn't take me to the doctor for a week saying the same thing happened to him when he was young and I would he fine. Yup...x-ray showed a clean snap right in the middle.

Yeah mine didn't swell up like you would think which made him think it wasn't a break....but I couldn't put ANY pressure on it and limped around my house for 3 days lol

[daslicer]

If he's done for the year then this is a shit season. The Spurs need him to have a chance for back to back.

[UZER]

"Manu will shut it down for the season to ensure recovery for international play with Argentina this summer."

[Robz4000]

Good info. What's funny about ankles is that later sprains can hurt really fucking bad even when they aren't that serious. As long as the word "high" isn't in it, I agree with your timeline.

perfect week for him to be out. we should be able to win out this week.

Manu looked like he was in a lot of pain but it didn't look that bad on the play itself. one week out sounds about right

he gets rest and enough time to get in a rhytem.

I call CIA POP BS. He probably is a bit banged up all over, but it's more a week of rest to recoup from being so heavily relied upon in December. Now that Patty's back, Manu gets some rest and Mills gets some extended rhythm mins to come back into form. Seeding really is last fucking priority this season.

[kaji157]

I think he sill be back against the Heat, not buying 7 to 10 days for an ankle sprain.
That would be 16 days rest and 8 game absence.
Too bad the Spurs will have a very rough 8 game schedule.

7-10 days

this is, IMO

[Mikeanaro]

Great, now every Spur player is a doctor :bang















:fight

[Uriel]

So how will Pop manage the rotation in Ginobili's absence? Since the rotation is already set, it's likely he's going to simply insert a new player into the rotation to take over Ginobili's playing time. That way, he doesn't disrupt the minute distribution he's already allocated for the rest of the players.

In my mind, there's no better player to temporarily fill the Ginobili role than Kyle Anderson.

[Legacy]

^^^^^ Cojo to the rescue!

I think Pop will use this opportunity to start ramping up TP's minutes... Beli and Patty will likely cover whatever is left.

At least it wasn't a starter, and we have plenty of guards on this team. Now the PG rotation will be Parker/Joseph and the SG rotation Green/Mills/Belinelli.

[wontstartdumbthreads]

Shit. I just read it's a ruptured Achilles. Anyone have confirmation?

[pgardn]

Don't need to reaggravate Parker's hammy.

We really need Manu in order to maintain healthy minutes for Parker.
In the playoffs, we don't win without Manu and Parker both healthy.

[pgardn]

[FkLA]

lol at Kyle Anderson being the perfect replacement

[SilverSpur]

It didn't look bad. The ankle didn't completely fold. In slow motion it seem more of a foot twist, His reaction is what look bad.
I just take it as rest time for him.

[#2!]

I'm not in the camp that's saying "great, Manu can rest," because he has had problems coming back from injury. There are always lots of shots of him in the lockerroom after the game saying "I just need to get my confidence back" when he returns from injuries.

The good news is Patty & Cojo will be getting minutes. Having them sharpen their chops right before the playoffs is perfect, and one of the only things I felt the team was missing during this recent stretch -- the other is Diaw hitting open shots at a respectable percentage.

[rmt]

Manu takes FOREVER to get back in rhythm after injuries so even if he's only out for a week, hopefully he'll be ready for the playoffs.

[boutons_deux]

Paul Garcia PS @PaulGarciaPS
(https://twitter.com/PaulGarciaPS)“He’ll be out for a good week. A week to 10 days.” - Coach Pop on Manu’s injury.



Good news, or Pop wishful thinkin and hopin?

[pookenstein]

I was holding my breath when he rejected Martins layup and glad he didn't pull a hammy on that play, but, of course, he gets injured later in the game. But good to hear it's nothing too serious.

[milkyway21]

He'll probably miss impt games: 2 games vs Dallas, a game vs Thunder & a game vs Memphis.

[exstatic]

Pop is THE MOST conservative injury coach in the NBA. If he says 7-10 days, there is no need to further project missed time beyond that. If you watched the injury, it was of the twist variety, as opposed to a roll, which is way worse. He'll probably start bball activities in a few days, and return for either the first or second Dallas game.

[TMTTRIO]

Well the good news is that he gets the rest that I was hoping he would get earlier.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Watched the highlight, as I didn't watch the game. It looked like a grade 1 sprain. He didn't completely roll his ankle, which would have been 3 weeks. 7 to 10 days seems about right. When Manu went down last year for a few games, it was Mills who stepped. And that confidence in Patty carried all the way into the postseason. Let's hope Mills can regain some that form. If so, this injury could be a blessing in disguise.

[hater]

I knew something bad was going to happen when I saw Manu come in spry as hell in the game. He was playing 100% physical effort level and most everytime old Manu plays 100% physical effort level he injures himself.

to be fair it could just have been a bad luck play. didn't see the injury play.

old man needs to take it easy especially since this is early March smh

[hater]

oh and ppl forget he will turn 38 in July. Old farts take a long time to heal. IMO 2 weeks minimum and another 2 weeks to slowly round to form (hopefully he doesn't re-injure it, because due to his advanced age, re-injury is very common)

So I'd say at best we get a decent Evita by mid April. At worst, he's done. :pctoss

[it's me]

:pctoss

WTF?? stay by your preaching moron.... aren't the spurs a better team without him? here you go, now we can repeat according to your logic, nothing to worry about.

He tweaked it. It's not even a full grade sprain. That would take two weeks for a healthy young player to recover from.

:lol Done. :lol

[ElNono]

:lol

[Man In Black]

Umm... Achilles strains do hurt because they provide the ability for your foot to flex and you'd have lost that sensation, so it's an alien feeling.

I'd say it's a Grade 2 Ankle Sprain. If it causes him to be imbalanced, then that sucks because a dangerous Manu is BALANCED.

The San Antonio Spurs’ Manu Ginóbili is a statistical freak: he has no imbalance whatsoever in his game — there is no one way to play him that is better than another. He is equally efficient both off the dribble and off the pass, going left and right and from any spot on the floor.

We need him to be better than 08 Playoffs Ginobili who couldn't explode or cut very well. Like Brent Barry famously said, "We had the MA but not the NU."
We don't need that version of Ginobili. So it's better that he heals up.

[Beaverfuzz]

More Patty Thrills is never a bad thing.

[hater]

:lol

hope I'm wrong tbh. But Manu is known to take his time to come back to 100% form.

[hater]

WTF?? stay by your preaching moron.... aren't the spurs a better team without him? here you go, now we can repeat according to your logic, nothing to worry about.

disagree. I always said an under 15-20mpg under control Evita is essential for our championship chances.

I knew something bad was going to happen when I saw Manu come in spry as hell in the game. He was playing 100% physical effort level and most everytime old Manu plays 100% physical effort level he injures himself.



Yep, every time. :rolleyes

oh and ppl forget he will turn 38 in July. Old farts take a long time to heal. IMO 2 weeks minimum and another 2 weeks to slowly round to form (hopefully he doesn't re-injure it, because due to his advanced age , re-injury is very common)

So I'd say at best we get a decent Evita by mid April. At worst, he's done. :pctoss


This injury doesn't really mean much, he's just cancer to the team anyway, right?


Why the :pctoss ??? :lol

If he had pulled that on Joey Crawford, Manu would've been tossed from the building.

If he had pulled that on Joey Crawford, Manu would've been tossed from the building.

Which would've have prevented the injury that followed and gotten Joey suspended but once again thinking that fans pay to see him ref. Sounds like a proper win-win. Shame he wasn't reffing.

Dude looked great tonight, we're going to need him for this repeat :tu

[TMTTRIO]

What were you watching? He didn't have a great game but we didn't need him to be. I didn't like that he was grimacing near the end of the game.

7pts, and some great defense.. That's a pretty good game coming from an injury on a b2b
