Man. Tough offseason for Spurs.
Good thing is should easily be ready for the preseason.
Well, hopefully his play in the European Championships will translate to a better year this year.

D'oh! When is camp supposed to start?
Hopefully that'll fix that head of his to make better decisions.
More Breaking news!!
Elson Breaks my heart
Not that I'm one of those people that's like "No national basketball!!!" But.....
All the more reason for our players not to play during the off season. Tony hurt his ankle and now this.
this is actually a blessing
lets go ian
Man, the European doctors need to step it up. He broke his face and they didn't diagnose it until after the next game? Don't these teams know that if they keep botching these injury diagnoses that NBA teams are going to be less and less likely to let their players play in international ball?
That's like the French doctors saying Parker has a "very mild" ankle sprain ... and now a month later and Parker says he's only 70%.
He may want to wear goggles to feel more secure for the first part of the season. Hopefully his vision will be fine (no retinal damage, etc.).
Maybe with the goggles he'll turn into Kareem.
Kareem Rush?
It's not sure, training camp start in 5 weeks.
Going by the speed at which Elson recovered last season from his injury, I expect him back around the All-Star break.
Un ingreal...
Elson, you just lost your job. Congrats.
In other news, welcome Ian!
lol He broke his FACE.
I expect him to be back in time for training camp, unless he has surgery, which the article states he won't need it.
I know...that cracked me up!
I told my friend one time that if he didn't shut up I was gonna crack his faceplate...we spent about the next hour cracking up histerically.
Let's see :
You use the soft/pussy card on Elson while he was playing with a broken face.
You blame French doctors for saying that Parker's injury was minor while he has been cleared by Spurs' doctors ten days after his injury.
Maybe it's time to look at facts and try to make some sense.
Link? Elson showed toughness by playing through the broken face. I just question his recovery time, which is a different matter.
They did. The French doctors said Parker would be fine to play in the stratisberg tourney or whatever and that was three weeks ago. Parker is admittedly still hobbled by that "minor" injury.
Well, if it were up to the French doctors, Parker would never have been evaluated by the Spurs. They said it was so minor that they couldn't understand why Parker was having it checked out. You posted about the French coach basically saying Parker will never play for France again if he doesn't come back and play through the injury, remember?
My problem with the diagnoses is the French doctors tried to downplay it to seemingly keep the Spurs from checking it out. An ankle that is only 70% healthy a month later was never a "mild" sprain. Especially when we are talking about Tony Parker and not someone with a low pain threshold.
So you have no problem with Elson playing a game with a broken face? You have no problem with Parker's original injury being misdiagnosed when it originally occurred? After last season when the French doctors tried to make Parker play through a fractured finger, you'd think they'd at least be halfway honest this time around.
It's not the French NT people's money on the line with Parker, it's the Spurs' money. The French NT is trying to squeeze every last drop out of Parker that they can get to serve their own purposes, but now it's time for both Parker and the Spurs to realize that it's in his and their best interest if Parker waits until he's 100% healthy to play.

Damn this is a sad day for me over here........
First all hope for A-status in bball dissapears with Elson flying back to San Antone and than my 2nd favourite sports team in the world AJAX Amsterdam misses the Champions League in soccer.
Could it have been a curse that I ordered Elson's national team jersey just yesterday? Nah, he had already broken his face last week.
It does amaze me that he didn't notice the effect of the bone chips behind his eye.....Maybe they should remain there as he made 28 and 15 during last game!
