You didn’t answer the question my man. We know that SA’s team has cleared Kawhi, but Kawhis team has not. Do you think SA would clear Kawhi if they thought he was injured and/or that it could get worse and threaten his career?Quote:

Any fan who is defending Kawhi at this point is not a Spurs fan. They are a Kawhi homersucker playerfan who doesn't give a poop what happens to this team.
Lol, by who? You?Quote:

I’m sure you can find some white former players who are saying the same thing but you wouldn’t want to. So get out of here with that.Quote:

Is this not when he went to the specialist in NY? Also unlike Tony, am I correct that the Spurs did not recommend surgery because they didn't think it was necessary. In answering DPG's earlier question I do not think the Spurs medical staff would knowingly clear him if they thought he could further injury himself. It could be he re-injured the same quad when he returned.
Secondly I'm hearing Rose and Pierce saying they believe that Kawhi has played his last game in a Spurs uniform. How does that work when you are under contract for $20 million to play next season? Why wouldn't the Spurs and Kawhi want him to show his value before trading him to whoever they wanted to trade him to. Doubt seriously if they'll care where he wants to go.
Sitting out this year he probably is going to need a "doctor's note" before anyone is going to just let him slide.

For example today Cris Carter admitted by accident that he was part of Kawhi's team and tried to make up a bs narrative that Pop cared more about the Spur 50 win streak than Kawhi's health. Stuff like that reinforces my belief about these clowns being biased. They have as much credibility in my eyes as Fox News does when it comes to being honest about Donald Trump.Quote:

Thanks for sharing. Pretty much echoes the majority of sentiments about the issue now, aside from the most hardcore player-fans here. this issue has been aired out pretty completely by now, with all sides weighing in, from Pop, to the players, to the front office, Kawhi's uncle, Kawhi himself, and now talking heads. The truth is out there
Same people who say getting an education to play college basketball is not compensation enough...Quote:

When somebody is injured, they either get surgery and there is a timetable for the return, or they rehabilitate the injury and again there is a timetable for the return. He has been rehabilitating this injury since the summer. He has not played a meaningful basketball game since last May. So he either has one of the strangest Leg injuries in history.. Or he is simply avoiding coming back for other reasons. Curry Has been injured like four times this season, and he keeps coming back. He will be back again in the playoffs. Do you honestly think this guy is that badly hurt?Quote:

I agree TP's was worse, but don't feel like the injuries are the same at all. That being said, I think there was something going on and the doctors in NY would unlikely risk their licenses covering for him. If it's simply a pain tolerance issue then I would guess his career might be over.Quote:

We should hear the latest installation in this drama when we get a report on the newest finding by his doctors.Quote:

People's bodies for sure are different. Tony's is made of testes and steel beams while Kawhi's is made of teeny twigs and pussy lipsQuote:
