Latrashcan Softridge
Dontboxout Bertans
Trudy Gay

That starting lineup combined with Poop's ancient 90s postup offense would get 24 wins, tops.

[Leetonidas]

Like I said in the other thread I doubt it's serious and spurs are being cautious making it sound worse since silver is cracking down on resting guys. LeBron is supposedly injured also iirc

[cjw]

These players have no need to play in the preseason. Even more pointless than getting a few series in in the NFL. Use the opening stretch of the RS to get up to speed.

Preseason is important for rookies and new guys.

I was wondering why he fell off my Twitter feed. Guess he blocked me just like he does to everyone he can't win an argument with. He's such a troll.

Really haven't missed him.

Looked back and he blocked me because he called Shumpert or someone a good defender and called him out for it. No profanities. Can't believe he's employed by CBS.

[Arcadian]

There's no reason for him to play in the preseason. He's getting revved up for one of the greatest seasons in NBA history. The preseason is beneath him at this point. He'll be ready. He'll be waiting. The Klaw will not disappoint.

If Spurs lost Kiwi and streak was broken ...but it would be the last significant injury of his career ...Spurfan should take that cuz they werent winning a title this year anyways. Streak is meaningless his longterm health is more important ...

[Keepin' it real]

Two things:

1. This is just Pop messing with the league for the new resting rules.
2. We'll get to see the best nba bench in action.
3. Kyle Andersons, the new face of the franchise!

[YGWHI]

Saddest thing about quad injuries is they become chronic most times...It's the nature of those injuries.

Playing at that MVP level all regular season and playoffs with his quad killing him, must have been a titanic effort, taking all Kawhi had.

This is why it's close to inexcusable that we didn't seriously retaliate after Zaza took him out.

Even if it's not a career ending injury or anything, and yeah this is the quad but things could connect, career-altering is enough to drastically hurt the Spurs, whether it's Kawhi from now on and rest of his career will be missing more games or if he has lost whatever pct of his athleticism or durability affecting everything in his game.

While I'm sure many of us have fantasized injuring Zaza or any those guys, but that is not the right way to play the game. Spurs have integrity. Also your predictions for Kawhi sound a bit dire. He is going to have a killer year!

more popovoch bullshit since the league will be cracking down on resting players this season. Expect some of the injuries to be over the top. Don't be surprised if someone misses a game for open heart surgery on a monday and is in the lineup on a thursday.

Summer League is no place to get second year players any time on the court.

Preseason is no place to get your new veteran any reps with the other players.

ST has many crazy trolls that never take anything seriously. Just read threads about LV shooting, coach Pop opinions, Harvey's devastation or Tim Duncan needs your help....ST trolls like to make fun of tragedies.

All users here love Kawhi, obviously we're worried about his injury.

You have to understand the rare dynamic of some forums so don't believe what you see here/online.

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20915612/manu-ginobili-san-antonio-spurs-not-going-start-full-throttle

Some news... didn't see it elsewhere:


In a way, it kind of helps to get the other players more involved, more confident, having more shots," Ginobili said. "But we know [this is] not the team we're going to be. So [the absence of Leonard and Parker] it helps in some ways. But we need to play with [Leonard] because he's our go-to guy. He's the one that carries the load offensively. We need to adjust to play with him again. It is very unfortunate that he's not been able to be with us or to play in the preseason. We are building, of course, and hopefully we get him back quickly."

A small worry is that this is not CIA Pop

Popovich mentioned last week that Leonard did not suffer the injury recently, and that it has lingered from last season while the rehab has "gone a little more slowly than we thought."

[Ice009]

Yeah, there's people here that always say "CIA Pop" and blow everything off, they always think everything is a cover up. That pisses me off.

That last bit in your post is what stuck out to me when this was first announced, and that is the bit that has me worried. I thought he had his quad issues sorted out. This is bad news if it's still lingering.

I remember reading during one of the off-seasons, not sure if it was 2 or 3 off-seasons ago, but I thought I read Kawhi getting research done about balancing out the muscle groups so that he doesn't have those quad injuries anymore.

Edit : I found the article about the work they did on his quads. It seems that this has gone back to 2012. I didn't think it was that far back. Which quad is the one that is bothering him this preseason?


http://www.espn.com.au/nba/story/_/id/14763202/how-biometrics-turned-kawhi-leonard-star

It was a twist of the knee that helped Leonard fulfill that vision. During his second NBA season in 2012, Leonard was sidelined for 18 games with quadriceps tendinitis near his left knee. That offseason, the Spurs sent him to P3 to assess his vastus medialis, a teardrop-shaped muscle in the quads that powers the knee joint. "They focus on trying to balance out your body," Leonard explains. "You don't train there. I learned more about the body."

When P3's evaluation showed imbalances from his injury -- the particulars of which P3 refused to reveal to ESPN -- Leonard and Shelton devoted that summer to ensuring his quads weren't just strong but symmetrically and multidirectionally strong. "Most players are linear; they can run in a straight line and jump vertically," Shelton says. "But with Kawhi, we focus on perfecting change of direction.

It’s uncertain when Leonard first experienced significant thigh pain last season. In March 2016, he suffered a right quad contusion in a game against the Miami Heat that sidelined him for the next three games.

They had two weeks to ask for updates on how he's going with his rehab and how he is progressing, but it seems like they sat on their hands and asked nothing. Fucking pathetic if you ask me.

I posted this earlier in the thread, now, maybe someone will actually read it. I remember reading an article talking about his quad problems years ago, and fortunately, I was able to find it again. I thought he had the issues sorted out, but I am a bit worried now as it appears that he's still having them which is why I wanted to find the article and reread it. I originally thought he first had them a couple of years ago, but this article states he's had them since 2012. I hope it's not a chronic issue.

Leonard has been rehabbing the right quadriceps tendinopath all summer.

Great find!!!!

Reading this IMO what I think happened is he over compensated rehabbing his ankle and screwed things up..is his bad quad the opposite leg of his ankle? Truly shows that his ankle was bad and he lost a lot of strengths in his leg and it caused his other leg to stress..

Tendinitis is a tricky thing and it can jump from one leg to another. I had it in both knees in my playing days and it's pretty frustrating..I dunno how long Kawhi has been dealing with this but a couple months should help tremendously..but if his balance isn't right and he rushes back..it could linger all year and maybe more

In most cases.

What actually causes Tendinitis? Is it an overuse thing?

Well I had it in my knees..I partially tore my ACL in my left knee and then got it in my right. From my experience it came from stress and over compensating because my other league wasn't as strong..

But I can't speak too much on a quad injury but I do know that rest is the only way to fix it..and like I said it can always come back and there's good and bad days. Very frustrating situation tbh

For a first time injury, recovery may take 2 to 3 months. A longer term chronic, recurring injury may need 4 to 6 months. Gradually return to sports specific training. Again depending on severity this may be days, it may be weeks



If Kawhi started rehabilitation in the summer this could linger into mid-late November. It makes sense tbh why Spurs can't put a timetable on it because it's not an easy fix or situation..especially for someone who has had issues..but on the positive side Kawhi is only 25

I'd don't get why he's getting these issues, though. He never really played big minutes throughout his career.

Kawhi never should have roided up.
