Video: Kawhi Seen Struggling to Board Charter Plane

[BatManu20]

Not a good look... Hopefully he's just embellishing it a bit cause that looks way more serious than I thought tbh.

Wow

[davidbowie]

we're fucked

[Chinook]

Looks 70

[AFMadison]

He’s stretching his left leg. He would be taking big steps with his right if he was walking like that due to pain. Obviously still bad, but he’s stretching

[davidbowie]

lets just tank

Good thing the nba regular season is long as fuck, not worried

[rjv]

He’s stretching his left leg. He would be taking big steps with his right if he was walking like that due to pain. Obviously still bad, but he’s stretching
he does appear to be taking a longer stride sequentially, a short step and then a longer one and he seems focused on doing so. he didn't look all that bad at the start or even when he boards. but yeah, could be until November when he comes back. Knowing the spurs it wouldn't shock me if he comes back right after the golden state game.

[BatManu20]

I agree with this if it's that bad. Especially for a one-game road trip.

921470179816681473

[raybies]

I just don't know what he could of possibly done to cause that. I mean is it degenerate? Did he aggravate it during practice. Hate how we are being left in the dark. I guess we are lucky that he isn't in crutches or anything. Just don't understand...

[SAGirl]

dreadful

[rjv]

I agree with this if it's that bad. Especially for a one-game road trip.

921470179816681473 if it was that bad, he wouldn't be on that plane. the physics of flying can be harmful to any soft-tissue injuries.

[davidbowie]

maybe he is faking it. having a little fun at our expense

[bklynspursfan]

Why did Yahoo Fantasy just tell me he's a Game Time Decision lol

[AFMadison]

He’s stretching it, as I said. Pretty obvious.

[TheGreatYacht]

Toss this season in the fucking garbage.

Tank for Porter Jr. Have Fathead take every shot and I like our chances of landing the #1 pick

[TheGreatYacht]

Props to apalisoc_9 's sources tbh. Called it just like the Lauvergene signing...

:lmao Hillary can board a plane quicker

Wtf?

[coachmac87]

If he's truly that immobile why take him on the trip???


Doesn't make sense

People freaking out over nothing. His left quad is hurt yet he’s taking massive steps using his left leg dragging his right leg behind. On top of that, he’s laughing going up the stairs. It’s like he knew Spurstalk would melt down if they saw this video.

[Chomag]

And our coward media will not question Pop for questions on KL's status...

"Now, some context: Leonard underwent a rehab session just before the scheduled flight time. He rushed from said session to the flight. It would not be surprising for him to be a little tight or a little sore. It is also possible he had been iced up for the flight.

Leonard has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Bulls. The Spurs have announced no specific timetable for his return. But Leonard probably wouldn’t be on the trip at all if he were really too hurt to climb stairs."

[hater]

Why the fuck rush him from rehab to a fucking plane if hes nowhere close to playing shape?

Pop too busy monitoring Trump tweets to give a shit

First Malania gets a body double and now Kawhi tbqh

kawhi is probably watching paint dry in his condo

[SAGirl]

Inclined to believe that after the physical therapy session he was just sore and possibly even had ice, so just resting that leg. Still, that being the case, I wouldn't see Pop playing him against a terrible Chicago team... so the only point of him making that trip was Kawhi insisting.

[Dex]

Obviously it sucks because we want to see him play and it may hinder his MVP chances if he has to miss more than 15-20 games, but let's be real...

It's still mid-October. In previous years, pre-season wouldn't even be over yet.

It's not like his leg fell off or anything. There is no break, there is no surgery, he's not in a cast. If it was really serious, he wouldn't be traveling with the team, but he is.

A doctor on SI the other day (https://www.si.com/nba/video/2017/10/18/kawhi-leonard-injury-impact-spurs) said all he needs is a healthy dose of RICE and he will be better in a relatively short timetable.

It's a bummer anytime a star is injured, but better now than in April. We have a long season ahead and the Spurs will be able to stay afloat if Kawhi has to miss a couple weeks...hell, maybe it will just serve to give Gay and the other new guys a few extra reps.

[Seventyniner]

:lmao Hillary can board a plane quicker

Nah, she's still waiting to get on Air Force One.

[dbreiden83080]

This is beginning to give me that Penny Hardaway feeling..

[dbreiden83080]

Good thing the nba regular season is long as fuck, not worried

Considering he was on vacation since May and it is damn near Nov

I am very very worried..

This clarifies nothing. Why are these guys so afraid to ask obvious questions of the team/pop?

[apalisoc_9]

but apas sources :cry

Like I said a few days ago before this video even surfaced, he overworked himself after his vacation in China.

Per my source who has insider stuff from spurs.

[wildbill2u]

It takes a while for a serious quad injury to heal. You watch that video and know he isn't going to be running up and down a court for 30 minutes in the immediate future. So we go with what we have and win by 7 instead of 20, eh? I'm down with that

[bic50]

Kawhi trolling ST

[Spur|n|Austin]

His left leg is injured right? Looks like someone who is using that leg on purpose to strengthen it.

Also, he could have it wrapped up which makes it hard to quickly climb stairs.

There's no way he's as hurt as this makes him look.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Why did Yahoo Fantasy just tell me he's a Game Time Decision lol

I think you answered your own question there

[Spur|n|Austin]

Seriously? lol ok

[K...]

He probably just had a huge erection and was trying to walk through it. You guys wouldn't know about having to worry about that, but c'mon it's Kawhi.

Per my source who has insider stuff from spurs.

That was a critical bit of info you didn't include - overworking himself after the China trip. You did mention that your source said it was from possibly working too hard, but I thought it was from earlier in the off-season. If it was after the China trip, that makes more sense as he seemed OK in China.

Also, I'm pretty sure it's the right quad as you guys are probably still going off of the info from the SA Express News where they reported it wrong in one of their articles.

[emanueldavidginobili]

It’s still mind boggling out of no where he comes up with this quad injury and he’s all of a sudden injured with little to none insight on it from the Spurs. I can’t wait to see him get back on the court.

[james evans]

hahaha, I don't believe he's that hurt. cmon man haha. This smells like some of Popovich's shit

Leonard ‘progressing’: Injured small forward Kawhi Leonard and point guard Tony Parker traveled with the team to Chicago but did not play Saturday.

Though the Spurs have not put a timetable on Leonard’s return from quadriceps tendinopathy, there is growing optimism the two-time All-Star might be back sooner rather than later.

The latest update from Spurs coach Gregg Popovich remained nebulous.

“He’s progressing,” Popovich said. “I’ll just leave it at that.”

I wonder if Pop will hold him out through the early November Dubs game? Spurs should be able to win until then and Pop always likes to hold out a key cog (and who is more key than Kawhi?) during these early season match ups with THE main rival.

[DeadlyDynasty]

He's got the gout

[emanueldavidginobili]

Welp didn’t make the trip for the 4 game road trip. Sucks that they won’t even give us a timeline for his return smh

[hater]

Well he hasnt even had light practice yet and can barely get up a flight of stairs

Id be surprised to see him back in 2017

[bic50]

I hope Kawhi doesn't end up as one of those "could have been one of the greats if not for injuries" type stories

[james evans]

exactly how did he get injured?

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

exactly how did he get injured?

It's an overuse injury, not something that's happened at some specific moment but something that has developed over time.

Kawhi's return for the 6 game home stand starting on Nov 2 "not ruled out" by Pop.

Which means nothing, I guess.

[buttsR4rebounding]

I heard Dr. Jason Garrett say on the radio yesterday that the Spurs are telling Kawhi that what he has is only pain that every high usage NBA vet has. It's something that he is going to have to learn how to play through. Evidently Kawhi has a low pain tolerance.

So what does that mean? Is Kawhi the one that is holding himself out not willing to play through pain? It sounds like the Spurs are telling him that he can play, but he's holding himself out?

I thought it's the Spurs medical staff that are holding him out? Can this get worse if he plays through it?

[Nathan89]

"Low pain tolerance" just stfu you have no clue about the pain he's feeling. If this was going to be the pain he would feel regardless from this day forward there would be no point of keeping him out. Fuck it save him for the playoffs every season!

[DAF86]

Pop told an Argie journalist that Kawhi will probably return somewhere on the 6 home games streak we have at the beginning of november.
