Please let this be the worst case scenario.
That's a great picture, Timvp!
The Spurs can survive two to three weeks. Please make it so. Thanks.
I didn't know that dogs could pray!!
Please let this be the worst case scenario.
And then some. This waiting to find out has been killing me.
These past two days were very scary.
Thank you Lord.
Mike Taylor just called out Timvp also.
Yeah, this isn't the greatest of news. Stress fracture/reaction in one ankle and the other ankle is surgically repaired?
This 2-3 weeks sounds optimistic. Hopefully the Spurs will explain further and why Manu will be able to heal that fast.
2-3 weeks? Keep him out for double that amount. Duncan and Parker will hold which isn't even a question, sign a big man (albeit Rasho or Moore) or whatever. Just make sure Manu is 110% for the playoffs.
Peter, I like your show. I do, but the rest of the stuff on there, especially Mike Taylor is pretty pathetic. I tune into you and Andy every morning and enjoy it.
I also just saw this on the ESPNews Ticker
Who is Mike Taylor? The guy on the Clippers?
A stress reaction is a "hot spot". A stress fracture as you might guess is a full blown break. Good thing they are being careful and keeping him out.
This might mess up the #2 or #3 seed, but if Manu was done for the year, seeding would not really matter in the end.
If no trade was made, do the Spurs bring in a Marcus Williams or James White?
Because every hispanic with rosary beads in SA will be praying for a fast recovery!!!
What's the difference between a "stress reaction" and a "stress fracture"? The orthopedic surgeon is trying to decide if I have a stress reaction of the navicular bone in my left foot.

Let's look at what's the same about these two problems. The key thing they have in common is that the injury occurs in response to repe ive overloading of the bone. This is most common in athletes involved in sports activity. Long-distance runners, military recruits, track and field athletes, and gymnasts are the most likely to suffer a navicular fracture.
The navicular bone is located in the midfoot. The tarsal bone rests on top of the calcaneal (heel) bone. The navicular bone is just in front of the tarsal bone on the same side as the big toe.
The difference between a 'reaction' and 'fracture' is a matter of degree. Both suggest a disruption of the bone metabolism. Fracture can be seen on most imaging studies (X-ray, MRI, CT scan), whereas a stress reaction only shows up as increased bone activity on a bone scan.
Both injuries cause midfoot pain and swelling. Weight-bearing (walking, running) make it worse; resting makes it better. Both should be treated with six weeks of casting with nonweightbearing.

How can you be a 100 percent if you can't play/practice?
So they're going by inflammation then? Otherwise how would they know where the hot spot is?
Interesting.Both should be treated with six weeks of casting with nonweightbearing.
I also think 2-3 weeks is too optimistic.
Could easily be 6 weeks. Which makes the "done for season" rumors very, very valid.
I think he meant fibula on the bone. I think that is probably better than something directly in the ankle.
Cool with me if this is true. More minutes for Mason and Hill to prepare for the Playoffs.
Yeah I said yesterday that we heard it wasn't ankle. I guess that's correct if it's fibula - that's calf bone, right?
Distal Fibula.. it's on the shin
Distal Right Fibula?
