Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
The Spurs remained without the services of Leonard on Monday night, and Popovich said he's uncertain when exactly Leonard will make his 2017-18 debut while still recovering from the quad injury suffered last season.
"I don't even ask. Seriously. When [the medical staff tells] me he's ready then I'll know he's ready," said Popovich. "[Leonard] doesn't like to be bugged about it all the time. I don't want to hear about it all the time. [The media is] going to ask the question and I understand. When they tell me he's ready to go, then I'll look at him on the court and I'll decide if I agree. Then he and I can talk about it. But the first step is for them to tell me he is ready to go."

Very tempting idea. But I doubt that the league would comply without investigating.

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
She dumb to not give some kind of an idea of how serious it is. We all know he knows more than he will say. Not sure why people are so dumb about injuries.

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
So what does this mean? He's not likely to be back during this home stand at all?

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
Doesn't Leonard have tendinosis in his quad tendon? If so that's a degenerative condition, akin to arthritis for the muscles. Hope it's not as worrisome as I fear. In Satan we trust, as always.

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
Not surprised, didn't he take a month off with some mild wrist pain back in December 2014 when their doctors failed to categorize what was exactly wrong with it?
This sound like something will linger with him for the rest of his career and he will probably have to learn how to play through pain in the future--something he hasn't been conditioned to do under Pop rest regime..
Also, I knew I better believe my own eyes instead of the few clueless local beat writers who were trying to downplay the awful sight of Kawhi gingerly boarding the plane stair like some 85-year-old man..:lol

That exactly what Tim Grover and myself disagree with in regard to Pop's resting schemes. You can't learn to push yourself mentally when you are fatigued or have physical pain. The Spurs don't seem to allow players to learn to play through that. As long as it doesn't make the injury or injuries worse, you should learn to be able to play through some things and push yourself mentally.
You also don't build up any conditioning for playing big minutes in the playoffs if you're resting all the time in the regular season and also playing lower minutes. That doesn't set you up for success in the playoffs.
Does a runner train for marathons by running 5K runs?

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
The two worst starts in the Duncan era was the '99 season when the Spurs started off 6-8 and the '04 season when they started off 9-10. I hope the Spurs can stay afloat above .500 after 20 games.

Tendonopathy. Not the same thing. Tim had tendonosis.

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
Don't get what's the big deal here...After all the Spurs don't need him.
Let him take his time, don't rush his recovery. Then, trade Kawhi before the deadline.
-
Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
his injury is a usage injury, similar to the tendinosis that ended Tim's career.
A fear is that he comes back, plays for weeks or months with no problem, then after heavy usage, the tendinosis returns, becoming chronic, as was Tim's.
-
Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
This is getting worrisome.
The veteran players look tired and the young guys are either too green or don't have the tools to maintain consistency. It also hurts that the team is paper thin when it comes to big men.
We're beginning to see how the team can't survive without Kawhi, long term. We know they can short term (a couple games here and there.)

Damn, that's worrisome. Any examples of other players experiencing tendinosis early in their careers like Kawhi?,

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
Serious quadracep tendonitis can take 6 monthe to heal. Mild cases can be 2 to 3 months. That's my understanding. A family member who played football dealt with this issue.
He described it as being stabbed with an ice pick in his lower thigh every time he moved his knee.
It is very concerning to me.
How long has he now been on the shelf doing nothing?
Oh wait, just saw tendonosis. Don't know much about tendonosis or recovery time.
-
Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
So tendonosis and tendonitis are completely different?
-
Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
Serious, should we tank? Shut down Kawhi but still try to win at least 50 to keep the streak alive? This is really a shit situation.
-
Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
No idea man. I just want to watch Kawhi. He's the only player on the planet right now that I want to watch. Watching the Spurs and some other teams so far this season, I realized I don't like watching most other players. His dominance on both ends of the court is incredible.
I almost can't stand watching the Spurs without him. The only players I'm actually liking right now are Brandon Paul and Rudy Gay. Aldridge is alright, but I don't really like his game that much. If he got physical and dominated on the low block instead of taking jumpers, I'd love watching that a heck of a lot more.
Anyway, I'm digressing from the question at hand, I'm just not sure if the Spurs should sit him. I don't want him to have any long term issues.

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
He cant even wipe his own ass yet fellas
Id be shocked if he comes back this season

I can't see how this team could win 50 without him. If he's not back sometime this month then I feel this is serious.

Agree 100%. One thing is certain; Pop will err on the side of caution in bringing Kawhi back. Also, despite the speculation by some ST posters, Pop did not negotiate a new deal with LMA to rebuild his reputation, pad his resume and then trade him before the deadline. Not PATFO's character.

Haha. Not sure how you have such "inside" information, but I defer to you, sir. Not knowing anything about his injury, I would not be shocked to see Kawhi return this season. Otoh, I would not be shocked if he didn't return. I do know that PATFO will approach the decision very conservatively.

I definitely agree the Spurs are pretty dull to watch without Kawhi. Win or lose Kawhi adds excitement to the Spurs.

Yes, they do. It's not their focus but they run them. The whole resting thing to me is a focus in optimizing the player's health and longevitity. Guys like kawhi are elite athletes, conditioning isn't an issue for them

Maybe a bad example (I'm not a runner), but let me ask again, does a runner only run 5k runs while training for a marathon with no other endurance or longer run training?
Anyway, Tim Grover (Jordan's former trainer) disagrees with you and so do I,

Tendinitis is merely an injury to the tendon that causes inflammation. It doesn't have to become a chronic issue but it can. Tendinosis on the other hand is a chronic degenerative condition of the muscle fibers in the tendon and much more serious.

It would be a shock to see him comeback in November since Parker, while ahead of him in the rehab processs , is few more weeks away from returning acording to Pop....
Starting to feel like a lost season for Kawhi..He is almost surely out of running for any award or All-NBA team distinction ..

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
Quote:
Popovich was asked if Leonard will have to go through the same procedure as Parker, who returned to the Spurs on Tuesday after spending Monday working out with the Austin Spurs.
“Sure,” Popovich said. “I wouldn’t want him to go right from rehab to jumping on the court. He has to go three on three, five on five, feel comfortable. Because in the end that confidence is what…Anybody who has been out any length of time has to get that back even if the doctors say, ‘Yep, you are ready to go.’ You really aren’t until you are mentally ready to go.”
Does this mean Kawhi could practice with Austin Spurs like Parker? Working doesn't mean playing but if he plays a game for them..Def I'd buy tickets.

Said kawhi should be on the court in like a week. Probably referring to practice but even that would be positive at this point. However she said the same thing a few weeks ago.

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
Might very well be tendinosis if he hasn't been responding to rehab the way he was able to in the past. Unknown right now just how much this will affect him but it doesn't sound good, not good at all.

While some Kawhi fans that want to see him wrack up personal awards might consider it a lost season, the silver lining is if he can get healthy and has enough time with his teammates he should be relatively fresh for the playoffs if he doesn't come back until the All Star break or so.

It is strange how she posted about him coming back next week and then deleted it. Not sure what that means but can't be good. I had forwarded her post to s friend of mine and by the end of the game tonight I noticed it had been deleted.
-
Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
Well she said that Kawhi told her he'd be back in about week, but that was early October. I wonder if she deleted this one because she didn't want to be wrong, or is someone else told her to?

It's not just losing the season. WB and Durant have gone through that before and recovered.
If his injury is like people say we might even lose superstar Kawhi to injuries.
It'd be a shame. Not only the best player of the Spurs but so great to watch.

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
Leonard, meanwhile, has made slower progress in rehabilitating right quadriceps tendinopathy.
"(Leonard) is just coming along more slowly, for whatever reason," Popovich said. "It's just been more difficult for him to get through the rehab routine. His body hasn't reacted the same way. Tony is at the point where he has been going five-on-five and that sort of thing. ... It will be a few more weeks, but he's definitely going in the right direction, and so is Kawhi. It's just been taking a little bit longer."
Popovich said Leonard will go through the same workouts before he returns.
"Sure, I wouldn't want him to go right from rehab to jumping on the court," Popovich said. "He's got to go three-on-three, five-on-five, feel comfortable. ... You're really not until you're mentally ready to go.

Not sure how stuff like that would work with NBA level athletes, though, as their wear and tear I would assume is a lot higher than mine.

Re: Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back
pop basically stating that he has to be sure that the players have to be fully confident in their ability to go full speed in all circumstance before he gets them back out there. sounds like leonard will go 2 on 2, 3 on 3 and so on. Maybe we see him in December then.

Possible. I just hope he's healed when he does come back and it's not a problem for his the rest of this season and also going forward beyond that.

Maybe the Porzingus Kawhi trade actually discussed. Not in depth, probably, but in passing.

Did he not have the best year of his career last year? I am confused. An Ankle injury caused by a dirty play ended his season. Not this..

He played through the injury that he sustained in March. Since it didn't heal over the Summer despite treatment they shut him down to try something different and that also isn't working. This was talked about in the Dubs/Spurs TNT broadcast.
