SAN ANTONIO (August 4, 2015) – After a physical exam, which included a MRI, San Antonio Spurs center Boban Marjanović has been diagnosed significant bony edema in his left ankle. The exam was performed by Dr. Richard Ferkel, director of sports medicine at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute.​

The Spurs medical team, in conjunction with Dr. Ferkel’s recommendation, has determined the injury compromises Marjanović's ability to play basketball without compromising long-term health and future injury.

As a result of these findings and in the best interest of his future health, Spurs officials have informed Marjanović and the Serbian Basketball Federation that, under the agreement between FIBA and the NBA, Marjanović will not be allowed to participate with the Serbian National Team in Eurobasket 2015.

Has to do with the bone marrow swelling in an area often caused by other local damage to the bone or ligaments.

Explains the boot he was wearing in the photo.

Well, at least they know what his problem is. Spurs medical could never figure out what was wrong with Splitter's calf.

We are totally disagree with the opinion of San Antonio and it is the absurd. We're trying to prove that the MRI results of feet are the same as two years ago, and that what they saw was not a result of injury, but the natural structure of the foot of 222cm tall human being.

If we succeed in our efforts, which are the maximum, we are ready to go in war, despite a very difficult text of the contract between FIBA and NBA.

---

Well this is certainly not the best way to start out his Spurs tenure.

That sucks! I hope he will be okay and have a good start to his NBA career with the Spurs.

gonna end well :rolleyes

:lol handwringers have already written him off. we already knew he was hurt and if this is indeed the injury it's not a huge deal and treatable several ways.

We just need one or two seasons of sparse minutes from him

If they don't like the way the Spurs do things, the team should cut him loose. Withey is still out there, isn't he?

He's got plenty of time to rest now and come into camp healthy but if he aggregates it then it will likely be an ongoing issue with him for the rest of his career. Likely due to him being a fucking giant, bodies aren't designed to take that much weight on them little tiny feet bones.

Luckily, he's only signed for one year and won't even be relied on this coming year anyway as we have Bonner!!!!!!!! Yayyyyyyyyaarggghhh blechhh.... Sorry just vomited in my mouth a lil.

Is his contract guaranteed? Wouldn't that be a $2.5M or so hit?

His agent is not well versed in the Spurs way of doing things. Airing his grievances will only doom his client to the end of the bench all year.

Gonna start WWIII

Manu got over it. Boban will too.

Yeah, if the team cuts him, they have to pay him. However, if Boban wants to play for the SNT, he can take a buyout of $0, which means he wouldn't affect the cap or tax.

He is great agent, the best in Europe for sure and he love basketball and know how things are. And now he is just fighting for Serbian NT and for Boban. Cuz Boban's dream is to play for Serbia at some big tournament. And if Misko have right (about structure of Boban's foot), why he would'nt have tried to convince them to let Marjanovic play.

I think I'd take the recommendations of the USC sports medicine, orthopedic specialist in ankle and other bone injuries, over that of a sports agent, for goodness sake.

Get that faggot and his agent the fuck outta here.

Raznatovic is a very powerful guy in Europe, almost almighty in the Balkans. Godfather type. He has influence on who gets selected for the Serbian NT, so pushing for Marjanovic to play this summer is a way of strengthening his position there.

Fucking foreigners and their wanting to play for their shit national teams.

So what do you think? Should he play or not?

I already said it. If the situation is like his agent said, he should play.

Well he wont. Get over it.

If u say so...

At least he's on a one year deal at a third of Baynes' price.

Spurs don't want him to play in Eurobasket. Straight up. Nothing to see here. See you on opening night, Boban.

I highly doubt it. They may have got $1.5 million last summer after getting to the WC Final, but otherwise I would bet they get a lot less.

His agent has a brand to protect. He represents these clients and the national team etc, he HAS to seem opposed to bobo sitting out. No one wants to be the guy who didn't fight for his country. The agent does t have a medical degree either, I'm guessing, which makes it seem more likely than not this is all publicity stunt. The Spurs are known for having an impeccable record, If not the best with foreign players and coaches. He could ruin all his agents chances of making the NBA if he was screwing the spurs over.

I think it's more of a media stunt. What's your take?

I highly doubt the Serbian federation shells out 18 mil to players just for participation. Maybe as a bonus for winning the tournament.

Those giant people issues, they always carry some kind of bone/heart problems.

That's the only fact that matters (and why his agent is pissed).

The downside to playing him is that he might not be as effective as otherwise -- it shouldn't hurt him further.

Therefore, according to his agent, why not let him play -- if he's ineffective, they can just sit him.

You dont question the best sports organization in the world tbh. I have a problem with that.

Look, i'm not that retarded to believe that agent is more expert than that doctors. Just saying that may have chance that they didn't come across this before. You know... he is 7-3 tall, with how many guys like him you have chance to work? And that they could think about it again. That's all.

Fuck that agent....

Serbian coach said after Spurs call Boban to come in LA that he is suspicious about it. And now he say it again, that it is something behind all this.

Because Boban last game was some frendly match at June 28th, and after that he isn't play basketball for 5 weeks. Absolutely out of any physical activity. And now he can't play? Plus, on first test (by Spurs medical staff) in Milano it turned out that everything is fine.

good to hear that it's just a bone bruise and swelling.

If it were a brain scan, maybe. He does have two feet, and they aren't the same at this point. That makes a rather easy reference point for a doctor. Bone marrow edema is a precursor to stress fractures, and isn't hard to see on an MRI. I find it highly unlikely that he congenitally has more liquid in the bones of only one foot. Letting him play competitive basketball seems like it would be insanity at this point.

aren't 7'4" players always at risk for foot and ankle problems?

Like basically everything, it isn't a black or white situation. There is definitively something wrong with Marjanovic foot (hence the swelling) but he could have played through it. In fact without the David Pick article and quotes from Radovic, he would have played the Eurobasket.

Spurs have Serbian NT have quite opposite interest:
- Spurs aren't concerned with how well Serbia will do this summer. Their goal is to have fully healthy players for the training camp. If there is a risk, even a slight one, that a player get an injury because of a previous issue, they won't allow it.
- Serbian NT main goal is to win games and be as good as possible for the Eurobasket. They aren't that concerned with a player developing an injury that could sidelined him with his future NBA team.

The FIBA/NBA agreement gives the upper hand to the NBA team to determine is a player is fit to play with his NT. Spurs use it at their advantage and protect their investment. And yes, it sucks for Serbian NT and their coach. They have every right to be upset.

What you are peddling are false. Are you a doctor?

It's not like this is a "Spurs only" thing. There are reasons this rule exists in NBA and FIBA contracts. Any other NBA team (or at least, the ones worth their weight in salt) would have done the exact same thing. Welcome to the NBA, Bobi.

If you want to play for your national team, great! But you are also now a contractually obligated asset, and if playing is going to pose a significant risk to that asset, well...sit down and shut up tbh.

His agent's whole "go to war" comment really rubs me the wrong way.

His agent should stfu, tbh. You know what you signed up for

I think it might be the same agent of Milutinov and Dangubic, and controls lots of other players in a fashion that suggests the players work for him and not vice versa. So I imagine if he wanted to go to war he'd have some ammo.

WTF are you talking about? It says "compromises Marjanović's ability to play basketball without compromising long-term health and future injury." Meaning he can't play basketball without compromising his health. SO if he plays, it compromises his health.

Even with a bad foot, he's still an upgrade over Errors.
