damn this lowers his chances of proving me wrong and turn out to be a stud...
If Mahinmi is back at 100% in 3 weeks, it won't be a that big deal. He would have missed two weeks of training camp that are mainly practice. He will still have some preseason games to prove what he is worth. However, I'm not really optimistic because it takes some times to come back after an injury that has sidelined you for about one and a half month.
And the fact that this injury hasn't been reported by the E-N is just another proof of Spurs' dismal coverage.

Maybe Pop is hoping he actually kills Bonner.
I seem to remember that he threatened to kill Bonner-- am I remembering that right? I guess that's why he smokes pot... to take off the edge.
With all that is happening this is really going to be a very interesting year. Hopefully there will be a silver lining to this but as of now this really sucks. Time will tell, though.
I agree with timvp - missing training camp is not a good thing for Ian. This time of year is crucial for new players to get accustomed to and fit into the Spurs system.
You, sir, have an excellent memory.

In 2008, the Pacers suspended Harrison for one game following an incident in which Harrison expressed his frustration inside the San Antonio Spurs' locker room after Spurs forward Matt Bonner hit him in the face (Bonner was called for an offensive foul). In Harrison's first game back from the suspension he had 4 points, 6 rebounds and a career high 6 blocks in just 20 minutes of play.
Personally, I've always thought Harrison was an underachiever who couldn't control his aggression. Perhaps he will rekindle his affection for Bonner, and his aggressive post play, in training camp.

wow this sucks, really liked him, hope he still has a chance...
Well just like the Ginobili injury, there could be a silver lining in th..............nevermind, this sucks. Hopefully the french really suck at reporting and diagnosing injuries and this is nothing.
. This. Offseason.
remember Mortal Kombat?... FATALITY!
expect Minhinmi to line up an an NBA all-star with Tim Duncan this February.
DAMN,
If it really 3 weeks he'll miss the first 2 weeks of Camp.
He can play some preseason games but to have a chance to be in the regular rotation he'd have to be healthy from the beggining
Somewhere the hit man for Oberto is having a cigar laughing it off.

He's already been in training before though, right? Hasn't he practiced with the Spurs a full season now? I wouldn't think that this would represent a huge problem for him minutes wise, but I guess giving Bonner his PT the first week wouldn't be a disaster. This will really test Pop's coaching skills, cuz he can't afford to make his future stud big make his injury even worse, and turn into Grant Hill at the ripe age of 22. He really needs 10-15 minutes as soon as possible.
Finished.
This has been a memorable offseason...
"David Harrison recieved this spur for threatening to kill Matt Bonner."
Amen....summer gotta stop and season gotta start before something else happen
He's trying to get a roster spot without ever setting foot on the court this pre-season. Nice!! Best off-season ever!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
If he is going to be any good, when he gets healthy he'll prove himself in practice, slowly work himself in, get some minutes and prove he belongs out there. The Spurs have to know they need to give him a shot to make an impact the way this offseason has gone. It is not like we have studs at every spot, he has no shot at beating out.
I'd like to see him try. Matt ain't known as the Red Rocket for nothin.
