White is not back

[timvp]

Also, didn’t he play in the second half? The fact that he did, even though he was injured in the 2Q, means the injury can’t be that serious.

Nah, adrenaline is a of a drug. Players have been known to finish off games even with torn ACLs and other season-ending injuries.

Eubanks, Poetle, White following that Carroll signing last year. Worst batch of long-term signings in the last 20 odd years.

Dumb take.

Eubanks is on a NBA - minimum deal and is easily movable, Poeltl is off to a rough start, but he did the same last year and ended up having a solid season (unspectacular) and White needs to just remain healthy at this point. He isn't the first or the last Spur "made of glass" and a 6th man role (with "monitored" minutes) maybe his best beat.

The Carroll deal was a huge up, but every organization (see Lakers signing Deng, Knicks signing Noah, etc.) is guilty of one of more of those.

If you actually paid attention to other teams and didn't stay here whining about just the Spurs' "misses," then you'd see that.

What is a minor fracture?

thats not the case at all. a lot of players suffer terrible injuries where they finish the game due to adrenaline, and then they miss substantial time.

Jesus Christ White. Yeah that extension might end up being a bad mistake after all.

[J_Paco]

Sucks that White is out and this pretty much ensures that the Spurs are lottery bound.

Evan Mobley or another quality prospect could help turn things around quickly, though.

That avi is sick though, OP. Did you make it? Where can I get one of those of my boy White?

Foot injuries can be chronic and career-changing for basketball players. Just ask Bill Walton and James Anderson among others.

We're talking about a ing toe.

Its amazing. Luol deng retired last year but Lakers still paying him until 2022

Is it the shooting foot?? Kobe played with a broken finger the whole season.

Should’ve drafted Haliburton as White insurance.

is the toe not a part of the foot?

It sho ain't as scary sounding as the heel, sole, or ankle. But I'm no foot doctor.

Torn ACLs are tricky because they aren't really that painful but they take away all explosion and ability to pivot, which is pretty essential for basketball. Fractures range in severity. A fracture of the metatarsal wouldn't destabilize the foot, and it would just be a pain issue (although continued usage could result in worsening the fracture).

Many people can endure an unbelievable amount of pain, at least for a short while.

This season is off to a great start. Losing with White is much fun than without him. Ugh. Team seems lottery bound for sure. Hopefully Devin and IV get lots of time.

I was saying the other day that it's really strange/bad to injure your toes this much, as I've never heard of this happening much in all the time I've spent following basketball. I really wonder what kind of diet he's eating as he seems brittle. I wonder if it's a diet thing (very well could be a big contributing factor. For example, stuff like Dairy does not make your bones stronger like most people believe, and they could be under the assumption that they're doing things to help themselves out), or if he just simply has some sort of bad foot problems. Maybe it's just isolated to his feet, but since he's had a fractured wrist in the past, I am thinking it could be mostly dietary. If he consumed a lot of calcium/milk/dairy when he was growing up, that tends to leave you susceptible to more fractures from what I've read. I don't know. Could just be bad luck . I feel bad for the guy getting weird injuries like this.

Interesting theory. And even if untrue, the medical staff needs to start asking similar questions themselves and figure this out.
