Anyone know what's wrong and why he's not with the team?
My vote says "personal leave of absence" = extended summer vacation time. :fro

He has a terribly handicapped daughter...I bet this has something to do with her.
To my knowledge...Horry's never been one to try and get out of training camp...and he wants to turn the clock back this season.

Well whatever it is I hope everything turns out ok for him and his family.
Horry is one of the few athletes that become so focused during playoff time that he literally shuts out everything and everyone (including family) around him.
Take all the time he needs because he'll be ready for the second season.
Come playoff time... he'll show up for good... book it...
Yeah, from a basketball standpoint, I don't see this as a bad thing.
From a personal standpoint, I do hope that all turns out well for Robert and his family.
Take the first 60 games off imo.
Interviewing with the Mavs ;)
Best whishes for him and his family
preseason Horry >>>>>> Beno
I do hope all is well and Horry can be with the team as soon as he can.
He's a playoffs performer but I don't discount his importance at practices and in the locker room. He's become an important veteren on this team.
Slomo-That was great!
All that hes done for the Spurs in 05 and last year, that dude could come rollin in in December decked out in all Tommy bahama and saying "Wheres the court" and I wouldn't have a problem with it.
take care yo bidness Robert :)
Give props to the Spurs for giving him the time he needs and NOT letting the media know what his personal business is. i know he asked these questions when he returns, but it realyl is his business. Hope all is well with him.

I'd never give him a bad rap for not caring about the team. I think Horry is a true professional who loves the game and won't leave until his body completely overrules his mind and heart.
They've packed him in ice. The thawing process will begin slowly around late November or December and will proceed slowly until late February/March. Hopefully he'll be red hot beginning in April.
Whott is right on this one. I was watching the Spurs-Rockets game last night on League Pass, and it was the Houston announcers calling the game, and they said Horry has been absent because his daughter has become very ill and she was in the hospital, and Horry and his wife have been with her and getting her treatment. They didn't specify what exactly the condition was though.
Stupid me. Are the preseason games also on League Pass?Quote:

Not all of them, but quite a few actually. This was the only Spurs preseason game they showed though. :hatQuote:

Having Direct TV? (I don't. I get LP through my cable company.)
It's too late now, but I'd sure like to know if there was a way for me to get pre-season games for next year.
Dang. My best wishes to the Horry family.
I read some unsubstantiated rumor elsewhere suggesting that Robert might actually be leaning toward retirement in the very near future -- has anyone else heard that?
I hope everything is going okay w/ okay with him...
basketball wise, I doubt Pop would worry much for Robert if he happened to join the team a month before playoff time. The guy is on the money all the time come playoff time...Rob would still be hitting daggers if he had to play in a wheelchair.
Like after the season is over, or like right now today.Quote:

It's one thing if he made that decision because he felt he couldn't play, physically or mentally, himself.
It's another if he has to make that decision because of something going on in his personal life, with his daughter or another family member.
I will respect any decision he has to make.
I admire him as a player and for the kind of man he appears to be.
I hope everything is okay for him and his family.
Whether he plays or not.
He's been busy filming Ancira commericals.

It could boil down to a couple of issues. Rob has been able in good conscience to play in other cities besides Houston even though his daughter is there because he felt that the treatment she receives there and the doctors she has are the best. If it has come to an unfortunate point at which he feels he needs to be in Houston, then there are a couple of issues he has to decide on.
First- does he still want to play this season- does he think that he can play at all and deal with this issue at the same time. If he thinks he can not and he does not want to play anywhere, then will he retire? Or will the Spurs say- take the time for now and stay on our roster, and we will decide later on if you really need to retire.
On the other hand, if he needs to stay in Houston and he wants to play, then it gets murkier. Will the Spurs do as the Jazz did and mutually agree to let him out of his deal, even if that means he could sign with Houston?
No! The Spurs would never help out a division rival by giving them a power forward for nothing!
If I could find it again, it might be. I'm not trying to stir up any trouble; I was wondering if that was just some yahoo creating theories or if there was some rumblings that I had been oblivious to.Quote:

Who cares where Horry is now, if he doesn't have any personal issues, ie., family illness, HIS illness? Horry will be back when he's needed...
Well, maybe he went to get a mohawk
And maybe he went to get some gnarly thrash boots
Maybe he went to go ride his skateboard
Maybe he went to see the circle jerks
