Dejounte Murray Injury Thread

[gambit1990]

Dejounte Murray (knee/leg) is headed to the locker room.

Murray went down hard after appearing to twist his knee and was down on the ground in a good amount of pain for a few minutes. The Spurs medical staff brought out a wheelchair to get him off the court, but he waved it off and was eventually able to walk back to the locker room under his own power.

[Mr. Body]

Good Christ.

[smaka]

My guess is torn meniscus. Damn it. Just tank the season.

[gambit1990]

i missed it but from what i read on twitter i could imagine it being an acl injury.

[davidbowie]

meanwhile kawhi's gonna be mvp this year

this season already a waste

Yeah right lol Doubt he plays more then 65 games

[TheGreatYacht]

It was only a matter of time. Once that faggot dabom put him as his avi and shined his balls like he did Kawhi's, his destiny was sealed.

[emanueldavidginobili]

I’m sick

[HankChinaski]

You guys can be so pathetic with your knee jerk reactions. Injuries happen hope for the best an move forward.

[tbdog]

I was thinking we were going into the season healthy. No Leonard. No gay injury management. Same for Parker. No Manu old management. 2 games in a row and our two young guys down.

[ceperez]

Opportunity for White to get a ton of minutes at point.

[Keepin' it real]

Seriously. Especially with the Kawhi envy, the dude didn't want to be on the team anymore. Now he's gone, it's time to get over it. If he's the MVP in Toronto good for him, doesn't change the fact that he didn't want to play for us anymore so who cares.

[TDMVPDPOY]

means... more shittymills and gleague forbes

[valleybeyond]

Spurs medical stuff :lmao

tbh...i realize injuries are part of the sport, etc. but my goodness the last two years have not show a kind trend w/ these guys....

[Dex]

Fuck beans.

Pretty much every reasonable take has said that in order for the Spurs to be a legitimate contender, Murray has to take it to another level.

Instead, he could be out for half the fucking season if it's an ACL or MCL. It's like last year all over again.

[Stabula]

Glad I'm not emotionally invested :lol

[Dex]

tbh...i realize injuries are part of the sport, etc. but my goodness the last two years have not show a kind trend w/ these guys....

It's not a good look for them, whether its legitimate criticism or not. Some injuries can't be avoided...but with the dark cloud that was cast by Kawhi's whole deal, people are going to scrutinize the hell out of Walker's recovery, and now we may have to add Murray to that list.

[kjhip1]

give manu a call? "hey so i know you retired, but...."

[Dex]

:lol well its going to one of heck of a season...hoping murray injury is not too serious

[TD 21]

I believe the Celtics cleaned house after Thomas was misdiagnosed. They didn't get a Green misdiagnosis, a Walker torn meniscus and a Murray to be determined.


Similar to Parker's, I know it was a freak accident, but at some point the bill has to come due for this medical staff. I don't care about their long term track record or how highly regarded they are.

Before the apologists respond, I'm not necessarily blaming them. I'm just saying, this is generally how it works. The cliché, it's a results oriented business, applies to more than just your win-loss record.

How is the medical staff responsible for Walker's meniscus injury?

[baseline bum]

Aw fucking hell. Murray was the player I was most excited to watch this season. So does DeRozan tear his achilles next game?

[baseline bum]

My guess is torn meniscus. Damn it. Just tank the season.

If Murray really tore his ACL the Spurs won't need to tank the season. They'll already be deep in the lottery.

[JeffDuncan]

Hey, don't fight it. Go with it. Start a betting pool. "Who's the next Spur to be injured?" Donate half the proceeds to charity. Medical research.

How is it the medical staffs fault when Walker has a non-contact injury they did not repair initially? You can't just go into a knee again on a whim.

How is it the medical staff's fault when DJ steps wrong and gets hurt?

How is it the medical staff's fault when a player cooks up an injury and hides from said medical staff while in NY?

I'm starting to question my auto renew on NBA league pass, though, This is starting to look like a sub-500 club for the first time in 22 years. I hope DJ can get well soon, but it's looking really bad for the Silver and Black right now. A big chunk of their athletic talent (young athletic) talent is going to miss significant chunks of a season that has not started yet.

On top of that, another non-contact injury. Ridiculous.

[wildcardX]

Players have kept playing with an ACL tear. Rondo did it.

Some athletes have been able to continue a game with a full ACL tear due to the hamstrings acting like stabilizers for the knee and the nerves being severed. A partial tear is when an athlete has to come out of the game due to some stress on the left over ACL and nerve inflammation.

A bonus question on a test I had in school a while back.

[Harry Callahan]

I hope DJ is OK. This has been a bad last few days.

[bklynspursfan]

Maybe it won't be as serious as we fear. Walking out on his own and with it iced is a good sign

[tonight...you]

Very much hope that's a great sign.

If Jabari Young sees a "good sign" that just about seals it as a serious injury.

"Please keep this young man in your prayers" doesn't sound too encouraging either

Nevertheless, let's be optimistic because the alternative is just not fathomable.

You're just on full meltdown mode aren't you? In preseason? lol Players getting hurt is now on the staff? Literally every NBA team faces injuries. Do you think the Spurs staff has some kind of higher injury record than the rest of the NBA? No, you have no idea if they do because you're just emotionally responding to this. If the Spurs somehow have a higher incidence of injury than the rest of the league, your comments would be somewhat valid (and not fully because thats not why you're making them) but considering how rare long term injuries are with this team over the past 2 decades I have a seriously hard time believing that.

I think is fucking laughable you want to lay a non contact meniscus tear at their feet. From a rookie who was going to go much higher in the draft but fell due to injury concerns. Probably their fault Blair had no ACLs too.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

The people who tear their acl and have no pain is due to no meniscus damage.
The meniscus being damage cause the pain. An ACL tear is actually painless because of the lack of nerves.

[rasuo214]

If Murray is out for an extended period then they should just go full rebuild. Trade Derozan and LMA for young talent and draft picks. Take on shit deals to improve the offer if they have to (no serious FA is gonna sign here anyways) and focus on the future. A top 5 pick, + Murray, Walker, is a nice base plus whatever they can get for Derozan and LMA. That is what I wanted the Spurs to do before the Derozan deal but hopefully they'll come to their sense instead of trying to go for a lower seed playoff run and early exit.

[Keepin' it real]

I am hoping it’s a knee sprain kind of like the one Kyle suffered last season. His injury was also on a drive to the basket, his knee got some pressure sideways from a guy (incidentally the Huestis that’s now in China), he fell with significant pain and it looked really ugly. He got up and walked with some assistance but it was an mcl grade 1 sprain. He was back within 2 1/2 weeks and was fine the rest of the season having missed just 9 games. I am hoping Murray’s thing is similar... fingers crossed

It's an injury of a player being in too much stress, i except a modern medical stuff to find when a player is in too much stress that expose him to injury and react accordingly...

[valleybeyond]

Yup, the other day I twisted my ankle stepping on a cracked sidewalk. My first thought was, "Damn Spurs medical/training staff."

lol- see previous posts/back and forth about perception vs legitimacy of blame. are they to blame? absolutely not. will murray and walker's progress from these injuries come under close observation from potential FAs/talent (in the aftermath of nephew's antics followed by green's claims)? i certainly think so.

regardless, on watching the replay, at least there wasn't any direct lateral contact to the knee- offers some hope its not one of the terrible triad

Wtf ARE you trying to say?

Murray gets injured and you are not necessarily blaming the staff.
But you use the injury to take a shot.

Pitiful take.

[ulosturedge]

Walking out on your own power means nothing. If it popped, it's gone. Even if it's partially torn it's done. You will just finish it off the next chance you get lol. And no you can't play with torn acl's. You can run straight lines, but if you are trying to make cuts you are fucked. You'll start damaging the cartilage on the sides of your knee, and put stress on other ligaments in your knee. If that knee came out away from the leg too far it's sayonara.

Stop fucking crying all you SOFT ASS motherfuckers. I feel like belting the shit out of all of you guys that are already calling the season over.

FUCKING BITCHES. "the season's over". FUCKING STRAIGHT pussies that would get mashed in a fight.

And who gives a fuck if Lonnie and Murray are out. Fucking weak ass motherfuckers need to stop being so brittle. Work on your bodies, get your nutrition correct. Spurs also need to look at getting better trainers, cause whoever the fuck they're using now seem pretty mediocre towards getting players prepared for a full NBA season.

I'm now more than ever curious to see how Kawhi goes playing a full season away from the Spurs. Let's see if his minutes are limited, and if not, lets see how he performs with more minutes instead of this retarded rest, rest, rest shit that the Spurs have been pushing these past few years, which only seems to create weak, brittle players with no stamina. I'm always going to be from the Tim Grover school. You can't ever test your limits or learn to push through and perform while fatigued in the biggest games in the playoffs if you never have to do it at any point throughout the season at all.

[Spurs fever]

Damn..

[Chillen]

Damn already two injuries in the preseason and the latest Murray injury hurts even more. Got to play and compete with what you have, so the funny thing is Spurs should could use Tony Parker now.

[Prose]

I was thinking we were going into the season healthy. No Leonard. No gay injury management. Same for Parker. No Manu old management. 2 games in a row and our two young guys down.

At this point we may have to give Dez fucking Bryant a call.

Can only but hope. Remember a few seasons back, late, Timmeth’s knee buckled under him and we looked done only to be not bad.

:wakeup There is a lot of overreaction around here.

Watching the clip you can say that probably is not that bad. Anyways, let's wait for the diagnosis at least before jumping off the cliff. It's a knee injury, the range of possibilities goes from season-ending injury to minor injury. You have to wait for the MRI and sometimes the joint exact status is only revealed during the arthroscopy.



Jesus, how does a guy get a national beat position with grammar like that. Makes me want to tear my eyeballs out.

Spurs are in a tough spot re this MRI.

Trying to sell season tickets in what already was the least appealing season in years.

Now they have to announce (potentially) that their most exciting young player -- the future -- is gone for the year.

Might they try to sugarcoat it with some qualified diagnosis that doesn't reveal the real gravity of the injury?

Hopefully, this is just a hypothetical and DJ will be fine.

Can do porntube too. She can even call in Parker when the Hornets come to town.

[rjv]

Wtf ARE you trying to say?

Murray gets injured and you are not necessarily blaming the staff.
But you use the injury to take a shot.

Pitiful take.

par for the course from TD lately. he went from being one of the better posters to one of the worst.

[BackHome]

Yeah he used to be good but ever since his idol KY went to Toronto he has been as salty as Fuck.

[Big Empty]

If he is out an extended period we’ll lose a good defensive player but Mr Whites shooting may make up for it. We’ve seen what he can do in summer league play.

[exstatic]

How is it the medical staffs fault when Walker has a non-contact injury they did not repair initially? You can't just go into a knee again on a whim.

How is it the medical staff's fault when DJ steps wrong and gets hurt?

How is it the medical staff's fault when a player cooks up an injury and hides from said medical staff while in NY?

I'm starting to question my auto renew on NBA league pass, though, This is starting to look like a sub-500 club for the first time in 22 years. I hope DJ can get well soon, but it's looking really bad for the Silver and Black right now. A big chunk of their athletic talent (young athletic) talent is going to miss significant chunks of a season that has not started yet.

On top of that, another non-contact injury. Ridiculous.

People and their crazy theories that the Spurs medical staff suddenly can't do it's job. Rarely did we have injuries like this, they've always been top notch. Some just can't be prevented.

So, implications from this...

-Derrick White is sure to see a lot more time this season, so he needs to get his shit together. For everybody who wanted him to be a key player, you just got your wish in the worst way.

-It will be interesting to see if Mills or White starts. I have a feeling that Mills will get the nod as he is the established vet and more familiar with the system, but I think we all agree that he fits better on the bench. His shooting could help space the floor for the starters though.

-This pretty much guarantees that we are gonna get to see a lot of Bryn Forbes, too.

-Demar's playmaking just became much more of an asset. You have to imagine he is going to have the ball in his hands a ton now.

-I have a feeling the team will have to keep Johnson around now unless they sign a different vet PG. Unfortunately, that will probably come at the expense of Blossomgame who has done all the team has asked of him, but one more lost guard would be a disaster otherwise.

[ceperez]

Worse off season ever. I can't take any more bad news.

White is also fragile. He had a lot of injuries last season and even in the Summer League. It's just going to get worse!

[LaMarcus Bryant]

[SAGirl]

I am thinking Pop will probably go with Mills so as not to throw White on the deep end to start. Hopefully as the season progresses We see White gain confidence and be better.

Why do people say "now you get white, suffer for it bitch" when last year was obviously a problem with Murray 1.0 and an inconsistent Parker? I get it white sucks based on recent play, but there'sa big gulf between stuck in g league and starting pg. I'm cool with sink or swim with White because there is no better option.

[bklynspursfan]

You thought last season was unwatchable, you haven't seen anything yet.

Wait, you really think this season will be worse than last to watch?

Gay 100% and DeRozan alone will help big time offensively. We were terrible in that dept last season.

This is a good point. I hope Demar gets comfy quickly bc his plate just got a lot heavier.

I still feel positive about the season bc they still have their star players and Rudy has looked great, but I wonder how much of my optimism is just denial... and I also think the team is now more vulnerable defensively since Murray was such a great rebounder and perimeter defender. I have to think this is probably on the level of OKC losing Roberson for most of the season and in DJ’s case he was primed for a breakout year. It’s tough for him and the team. They are going to have to rely on their veterans a lot.

Not so much worried about the offense; White starting should actually upgrade that. Murray was extremely important defensively. Do we see a 3 and D guy start at the expense of a guy like Mills? Not sure that there's anyone available that would do a good enough job out there, though, and I don't see anyone on the roster who can fill that role (Cunningham would be the closest, but he's not really that guy).

It'd be nice to have Danny Green right about now.

I literally had the same exact feeling after seeing the recap of the Rockettes preseason game as I had during 2013 Finals game 6. Why is Pop taking out Duncan (right before Bosh grabbed the rebound bc Duncan wasn't there and hit Ray Allen for the dagger 3). My feeling was "Why is he playing the starters any minutes right now."

Also the same feeling when Grady Little took out Pedro in 2002 and the Yankees took the lead.

[John B]

Bc Pop. Everyone questions him but he can do no wrong so he does what he does. Then something like 2013 Game 6 happens or this happens.

one of the few reasons to watch this season was murray's growth..yeah this will open up ball-handling minutes for DDR but we already know what he can do, i wanted to see DJ come into his own this year with that chip on his shoulder and extra bulk from all the peanut butter...

how long does it take for the typical athlete to come back from an ACL at his age? can we work him in by the postseason?

[Hoops Czar]

1049360250644705287
Exactly. Players need to play in the preseason so they can rest during the regular season.

[cd98]

This is terrible news. I've been a Murray critic to this point, but was hopeful that this was going to be a big growth year for him. Our point guard roster is thin, so I think the Spurs will add someone. Derrick White should work okay, though after seeing some of the DeRozen highlights, I think the ball should be in his hands a lot of the time.

This really hurts our depth.

God damn it with that 2013 take. Duncan gave up a three on almost the exact same situation the very next year. The plan should have just been to immediately tackle Bosh if he got the board. Second-guessing Pop not going for a foul is fine. No reason to second-guess why he didn't have a slow defender out on the perimeter against five three-point shooters. Shit, are you going to ask why he doesn't have Pau in during end-of-game situations too?

Bc Pop. Everyone questions him but he can do no wrong so he does what he does. Then something like 2013 Game 6 happens or this happens.

So before people got pissed cause Pop did rest people. Now when he's going to keep playing them (and he's using his sports science resources in case you missed that last week) and it's still an issue? This isn't like the years where continuity is in our favor, it's a whole new team. They need all the reps they can get together.

[KDKSpurs24]

But why?
You gotta play and build chemistry and get in shape for the regular season in order to start strong. Other teams are playing their starters and haven’t gotten any injuries. Can’t be one sided from a Spurs fan point of view. The injuries are just unfortunate things. Can get hurt any time.

[DJR210]

Yep. Out for the season. We still have other PGs atleast

I'm not even worried about the season. I'm more pissed off because there is such a big chance we may never see him regain his abilities. We get a dude poised for a breakout season and now the skills that would have put him ahead of the rest are potentially gone.

Duncan would have grabbed the rebound. It clearly went to the PF/C spot. Instead we had someone like Manu trying to body up Bosh down there. That's why. The Cavs weren't smart enough to ID Duncan's man and put him in a PnR with RayRay or LeBron (LeBron would have missed with Duncan guarding him anyway :lol).
