Gay missing time might also help the team adjust to Leonard better. The rest of the rotation guys were on the team last year, and it was probably not any easier having to find shots for everyone with Gay taking his usual amount anyway. Kawhi can pretty much slide into Gay's role (though as a starter) for a while and expand from there.

Achilles tendon bursitis, also known as Retrocalcaneal bursitis is a common foot pain in athletes, particularly runners. It can often be mistaken for Achilles tendonitis or can also occur in conjunction with Achilles tendonitis.
Symptoms. A bursa is a small sack of fluid that sits between a tendon and a bone to help the tendon move smoothly over the bone. The retrocalcaneal bursa in situated in the feet between the Achilles tendon and the calcaneus or heel bone. With repeated trauma the bursa can become inflamed.
Achilles tendon bursitis is often mistaken for achilles tendinitis. It is possible for the athlete to have both achilles tendinitis and achilles tendon bursitis at the same time which is known as Haglund's syndrome.
Yours truly does.

Spurs have had their whole team available to them exactly once this season. Now, we wait some more... :bang
Good news all things considered. Sounds like Gay worked so damn hard that he was battling other ailments. He got time without Kawhi in the system and now gets some much needed rest (even before the injury he looked like he needed to be managed more IMO).
Kyle getting more time is a plus and hopefully Bertans.
It’s really hard to imagine SA trading anyone. It’s just not their MO. Especially guys who take less money (like Rudy) and work hard. They do well because they have consistency and unless it’s a no-brainer they don’t trade FA’s unless it goes really south or its for a trade they just can’t say no to.
Same thing for the back court. I don’t think anyone has stepped up enough (Murray, Forbes, White, BP3) to warrant moving Mills or anyone of those young guys either just to free up time for the others. They will rely on their “guard depth” to over come the big depth issue IMO.
I agree, they don't trade players acquired in FA or players they've extended in the first season of their deals. Think Theo Ratliff to Charlotte was the only such trade and he wasn't a significant piece, besides it was his wish iirc.
Looking at the expected playoff 9-man rotation ( LMA, Pau, Gay, Kawhi, Danny, Manu, Kyle, Parker, Mills ) one would think Pau's and Mills's spots would be the ones they might look to upgrade and it's highly unlikely not only due to their contracts having just been extended, but they're the player with most 3s this season and the player with the highest 3 point efficiency. It'd be hard to replace this with anyone realistically obtainable on a team that has only 2 other good 3 point shooters (of the 9 playoff rotation).
They might make a smaller trade for the future though, as they don't seem likely to be able to keep all players. Bertans or Forbes could go. Lauvergne too (Theo Ratliff scenario), to make place for one of the bought out players if there's someone they like.
It’s definitely possible but I just find it unlikely. Pau is playing too well overall and with Joff sucking I don’t think they would feel good about losing Pau he’s been really damn good all things considered. So upgrading that would be tough since you would need another big and who’s giving up a younger, better player than Pau for Pau or Mills and parts?
Mills I could see but he seems to be a pretty big part of the fabric. With TP/Manu older, none of the young guys really stepping up (Murray, Forbes, White) I don’t think they move Mills unless it’s lightning in a bottle. I agree they SHOULD, but don’t think they WILL.
I think the same reason they paid Mills is the same reason they can’t trade him: Uncertainty. TP was a big injury question mark, Manu was contemplating retirement and the young guys were interesting but not proven.
None of that has changed. The only issue is that Mills trade value has gotten slightly worse due to his poor play.
Pau is playing very well, but he still has matchup issues with GSW and HOU... our top competition out west
Agreed. But again you aren’t going to replace Pau in the rotation with his contract and how well he’s playing without moving him. So who would want him and give a player that matches up better against those teams?
I agree in theory, but I’m saying it’s not likely since Pau is both playing well and it’s hard to imagine trading him and getting someone at his position (or at least a PF/C) back that is better against the top teams.
He's talking about adding another big that can sub in for Gasol in those matchups tbh. Obviously he's going to play and with how he's performed this season you can't trade him without hurting the team, but it can't be ignored how much of a liability he's been against HOU and GS.

Thing i like most about Blossomgame is that he has a similar build to Leonard. Just not as good as him though.. but I honestly think blossomgame is better than Anderson.
Just needs some time in the spurs system.
Fuck. Are we ever going to see a fully healthy squad this season?
Tbh rudy gay is pretty awful. And whats up w the glass spurs
Hes gonna be like this all season including d playoffs
If it's a bone spur, surgery can remove the spur but not prevent it from recurring. Spurs are a calcium buildup on the bone. I've had them for a long time and you can activate the pain by bumping up against something without even realizing it. The pain can be so excruciating that it becomes hard to put any weight on the foot. The pain comes from nerve ends which become inflamed when the bump presses the flesh against the spur.. Heavy doses of ibuprofen will cut down the inflammation and pain in a few days...until the next time.
