“When Kawhi comes back from his injury”

[TheDoctor]

I think I've been reading this since last playoffs with different reports ranging from if he hurt himself training hard during the summer or that his body hasn’t reacted well to treatment or the doctors hadn’t encountered such an injury but ever (wtf?). Or that if Kawhi suffers from postpartum depression or that he is afraid to play through pain, among other things.

At this point I do not know what to believe anymore. Sadly. So lets pour one for this hommie’s fragile body and hope he comes back anytime soon.

Shit is depressing, tbh....That and seeing career china-dolls like Embiid and Anthony Davis on course to play more games than you is both frustrating and ominous at the same time..

Enrique might be 50Mills plump master but I won’t deny that he’s a fucking boss in terms of wolverine healing and teammates’ wife fucking.

[spursistan]

A 35 year-old who tore a tendon in April and a 31 year-old who ruptured an Achilles in January are both back in action before a 26 year-old-- who is only supposedly nursing a sore quad and despite getting shutdown for nearly two months-- does..


The "Kawhi's health" question is real..

So Tony rips a muscle from his knee and he's back before Christmas. Kawhi tweaks his ankle in what, May? And he might not be back this season.

Why is no one saying what happened to Kawhi? Is he in prison?

Unless this is a troll post or something.. it’s not his ankle. It’s his quad. I wonder if this will eventually just need surgery. If so he needs to just hurry up and get it

I have worried that thing is chronic but needing surgery is something I haven't thought off.

They say it's a lingering issue. Funny, he seemed fine until he hurt his ankle. This "lingering issue" thing is bullshit. They aren't being straight with us.

[exstatic]

I read in an article that Pop said that Kawhi and Tony have the same injury, Tony’s just tore. Do you want Kawhis to? It will if he comes back too soon.

25 year olds don't usually get ruptured quad tendons unless they overuse steroids. Kawhi will be fine.

da real Alpha coming back to save us

[cjw]

Team is still playing at over 50 win pace without him, so they’re being more than cautious. For the DRose comparisons, look at what happened by bringing him back at less than 100%. There is literally no reason to play him until he gets to 100% in a significantly weakened western conference. Let GS and Houston get the 1 & 2. Just avoid the 8 seed. In the meantime, I expect an uptick in the offense with Parker back. Less stagnant stretches that lead to runs for the other team and less pressure on Aldridge (and less of the ball in Manu’s hands).

I don't think any of us want Kawhi to play at any less than 100%. The problem we got is with the story/stories behind his injury.

Spurs "perplexed" by Kawhi's slow recovery :rolleyes

Hes dead, died in China during the summer the person you see posing as KL is a body double that they are trying to teach how to make a turnaround fade away and a few shots and layups. His deployment is really slow right now but at some point during the seasn he will make his debut and it will not be enough to make it past the first round this year.

Yeah, but info we've heard is, is that Kawhi is the one holding himself out. That's why I mentioned Derrick Rose the other day.

Do you not remember after Derrick Rose was cleared to play, he could have come back much earlier, but he kept holding himself out. What are you talking about them bringing him back earlier at less than 100%? He sat out longer. Don't you remember the joke email with a picture of his fake inbox with messages from people such as his doctor months after he was cleared to play saying "Derrick, you're cleared, you can play now!" From what I remember, he sat out an excessive amount of time because he wasn't ready mentally (If anyone followed the D Rose situation early on, correct me if I am wrong).

That's why I said the other day that Kawhi sounds like he's seriously showing Derrick Rose levels of timidity in returning from injuries. Mentally, he doesn't seem to be able to handle injuries well, or recovery from said injuries. I don't really know what is going on. It's all hearsay.

This is the big question. We don't really know what the story behind his injury or injuries is.

Also, I have to say, huge props to Tony for returning this early from his injury. I am really hope the time off with his rehab and him being able to work on his body enables him to be able to play at a higher level than he has the past few years. I really hope that he can make an amazing comeback once he shakes the rust off.

[spursistan]

At this point, if you haven't prepared yourself mentally that this could be a "lost season" for Kawhi and the Spurs, you are doing it wrong..

I do think Kawhi will play this season, but I'm not sure he is going to finish it..

The main "problem" about this is that the Spurs have a pride and we are actually winning in this washed-out League. Bunch of other teams would be tanking hard for draft position. Kinda like DRob to TD year.

Hot take? I am curious. I am prepared to not see him till next January. I am hoping we start hearing in December about him working with the coaching staff and doing 2 on 2 and such. If we don’t hear about that in December then I am ready to assume lost season, either bc he needs some surgery, some procedure, or the thing is chronic. I think this upcoming month we need to start hearing something positive or it’s really going to be bad news.

[Ice009]

Why would his season be over if he can't return by January? What if he returns mid-Jan, Feb, or even March. Who says his season has to be lost if he doesn't start working out and getting back on the court within the next month.

Player fans view a season as lost if he doesn’t win MVP/DPOY/All NBA accolades.

[SAGirl]

Personally I am not playerfanning (I don’t talk for others though). It’s just that there were some aggressive treatments like platelets ruch plasma and others (I am not pretending to know anything about medicine, it’s all stuff that’s been in the media and interview with doctors and posted here somewhere, dig up).

Some of those treatments had a prescribed rest period to work b4 the player was even ok to do court work. So I am assuming (perhaps wrongly as I am no doctor nor pretend to be one) that the rest period is about to end and he should either clear a stage where he should start getting ready to come back by engaging in basketball activities with coaches and teammates or he doesn’t clear that stage and there’s some setback. So if I don’t hear good things in December I’ll assume there’s some setback worse than just letting some treatments work.

[Stabula]

Should fly to Germany and inject some aborted fetuses into his quad tendon tbh.

always for Kyle... hes' got too much undeserved hate... but not on Kawhi's behalf in the way implied in the post above. I don't particularly care about individual awards for players etc.

[spurs1990]

I also don’t see how this mysterious injury doesn’t keep carrying over into future seasons. Especially if he misses this whole year. 2018-2019 he’ll still have it in the back of his mind.

So I’d be in favor of him playing at some point in early 2018.

I thought that was weird too since he's in causal clothing, but the Parker statements also say he's playing basketball at a modest pace,, which means he's close to returning. It had never been apparent whether he was that far along until Parker said so

Leonard has played two sessions of 5-on-5, going both halfcourt and full. At shootaround this morning at the FedEx Forum, Leonard practiced with the full team for the first time, Popovich said.

“Those are the last steps,” Popovich said. “That’s what Tony (Parker) did before he came back.”

......

“When he says, ‘I feel I can go,’ then he’s got to convince me,” Popovich said. “Because I’m going to err on the conservative side. We’ll see. He’s too valuable to bring back early.”

He's wrong. You want to know Kwahi's value. Look at the Spurs with Kawhi and w/out Kawhi in the WCF against GS. Lots of teams can still win in the RS where chances are you play a lottery team every 3rd game. But to compete in the playoffs requires stars.

Lol, who is this moron? The other guy completely destroyed his stupid argument by asking if you put Paul George on the Spurs, does George cease to be a great defender just because they're a good defensive team without him.

His whole argument is built on some very faulty premises. For example, the Spurs aren't just as good without Kawhi. They went from elite, last year, to just pretty good this year

Wow wtf? Arenas actually called kawhi a bad defender. There's no way he actually believes that bullshit he was spewing.

I'm pretty sure I've heard this before. I don't know if Gilbert was the one that said it or if it was someone else. I know I've heard what Gilbert said somewhere before, a year or two ago, maybe 3 years ago, but not sure if Gilbert was the one that said it back then. If it was him, then yeah, he definitely believes it.

IMO, Kawhi does not do too well with sticking with speedy PGs. That's the only aspect of his defense that isn't great IMO. In the Mavs series in 2014 it was driving me insane when Monte Ellis was blowing by him at will at the end of some of those games, especially game 6 of that series in Dallas. Kawhi couldn't seem to stick with him at all.

Anyway, I don't know why I'm even talking about what Gilbert Arenas is saying. I just care that Kawhi comes back healthy and more importantly then even that, he stays healthy once he does come back. Don't rush him back if he needs a little more time.

[raybies]

Yeah I don't see him playing against the Thunder with Detroit being the home game on second night of of B2B.
probably go to that game if he returns...

[bic50]

Doesn't need to.
There are enough posters on this board who'll do it for him.
Real fans tbh

I'm hoping he'll be back by Friday vs Boston.

[Spurtacular]

I think I've been reading this since last playoffs with different reports ranging from if he hurt himself training hard during the summer or that his body hasn’t reacted well to treatment or the doctors hadn’t encountered such an injury but ever (wtf?). Or that if Kawhi suffers from postpartum depression or that he is afraid to play through pain, among other things.

At this point I do not know what to believe anymore. Sadly. So lets pour one for this hommie’s fragile body and hope he comes back anytime soon.

Great read. Will recommend to friends and family. They may not have seen the other thousand Kawhi injury threads.

[pookenstein]

Arenas should have tried if his gun works on himself. That has got to be the shittiest take anybody has ever made. And we live in a world where dumbom exists...

He just wanted attention and as long as we keep talking about it he got it. But yah, that take was dumb as shit.

I love how he's appreciative of his teammates. For all the talk of him leaving, first of all, and second bc that's just being a quality leader and teammate.


But my team is doing a great job right now of holding their own. A lot of people stepped up in the process, and it's going to be great for us in the long run."

Then the following question was asked, “Did you ever seek a second opinion from someone outside the organization?” To which Kawhi replied:


Don’t really want to get into the details on that. Just focus on something else.

Rudy Gay and Joffrey Lauvergne are probable for tomorrow's Spurs-Heat game. Kyle Anderson and Kawhi Leonard remain out.

[Dex]

https://247sports.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/Bolt/Report-Kawhi-Leonard-likely-to-return-Friday-against-the-Boston-Celtics--111780490


"Although he did not elaborate, a return to game action is expected by the end of this week. A source with knowledge of the situation said the coaching staff discussed the possibility of bringing him back as early as Monday’s game against the Pistons, but decided that waiting a few extra days wouldn’t hurt.

Whenever Leonard comes back - perhaps Friday at the AT&T Center against the Celtics - it will end a saga that was perfectly Spurs-like from the beginning."

Santa Klaw is coming to town. :hungry:

If he's out tomorrow, he won't be coming back Friday for the Celtics game; doubt he makes his debut on the road either. Guess he will be out another week or so.

Why would Rudy be probable? Still the sore heel? Maybe bc he played 32 minutes last game?
Kawhi still out?

You know... a few guys said at this rate Kyle is going to come back from spraining his knee sooner than Kawhi will be back from this injury. It was obviously a sarcastic comment but ... I don't know what to think to tell you the truth. He's practicing at least but there are some things he still needs to clear. hmmm

It wasn't quite the

"I'm back!!!!!!" statement that MVParker issued. Kawhi was still guarded in saying he's feeling good but not yet.

Agree.. the "pretty healthy right now" part doesn't show 100% confidence from his part. Personally, I've been down that road where there's a nagging injury that, although taking extended time off for recovery does help some, doesn't seem to go away 100%.. it becomes both a psychological & physical challenge. I hope he's able to overcome this & be back at 100% when he finally steps on the court

Probable basically means "will suit up but we have an excuse to hold him out if we want" to get around sitting-players fines and such. Though with Lauvergne (and even Gay) that wouldn't be an issue.

ok thanks so much. I think with Lauvergne the fact he has a finger in a splint that isn't straightening out, I think Pop would rather not play him if he doesn't have to, although he's available to play.
The question for me was really Rudy since he's been reported as having that sore heel.

I think that pic was taken on his way down, too. He caught that ball at the top of the square.

I wonder how the photographers got that kind of lighting on that and a bunch of other shots from the 2013 and 2014 Finals? It didn't look nearly that dark in the audience on TV.

[Old School 44]

Not sure what "tendinopathy" is all about, but I'm guessing it's really weighing on him mentally being out so long.

I think it's just through using a super fast shutter speed. Probably not possible without the very bright lights shining directly on the court.

Its a combo of shutter speed and imaging editing tools like DreamLight, etc.

I've seen reports that it was Kawhi holding himself from coming back, and when asked about the second opinion and having his own medical team he declined to respond (which is within his rights). He denied Pop's statement that the injury was something lingering from last season, which was weird so we don't really know anything from this mysterious injury, when it happened, how it happened, etc Pop was getting cute answering the media last month as well, but I do recall at one point Pop mentioning that Kawhi didn't want to constantly be asked about it. It's really odd. Hopefully it's not going to be something recurring, or chronic.
