Spurs lose tonight. Tony was drained after last nights game. , I'm getting sick of this injury !!! Why the can't it be Finley or Oberto that gets injured.
Didn't TD also had a quad problem in 2004?
It was a game against the Mavs on the road and he left the game in the 3rd or 4th quarter and missed about 2 or 3 weeks. He tryed to comeback against the Clippers but than he missed some more games.
If I'm not wrong was also a quad thing

So do we Tim next to Manu and Ian in a sports coat?
what? Oberto is hurt as well?
The good news is if Tony has an average game and we loose ugly we will have a ton of fun threads.
I am looking at the bright side. Time to check out the youngins!!!
p.s.
get better team, we need all of you!!
Mason, Finley, and Bonner will have to score tonight and get it going early for the Spurs to win.
TP will still get 20 points and Oberto and Thomas will need about 16-18 pts between the two as well.
I found this one from 04
It was a quad injury but on his left quad
Tim Duncan - F/C - Spurs
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram suggests there may be more to Tim Duncan's injury than just a bruised left quad.
Duncan was in pain, nursing what appeared to be a left knee injury. He and the Spurs' trainer were constantly rubbing the knee cap, and the Spurs denied the Mavs' doctor's request to take a postgame look at Duncan (which is simply protocol for the home team to offer). Until the Spurs say otherwise, however, we have to assume the report of "day-to-day with a bruised quad" is all there is.
Feb. 27 - 6:28 a.m. ET
Umm...I have a feeling he'll play in Los Angeles. It wil be a week of rest or so.
Good memory.
Duncan ended up missing about three weeks. During that time, he came back and attempted to play against the Clippers but couldn't finish the game.
The weird thing is that Duncan's left knee is the one that has given him trouble the last eight years. This time it's the right knee.
It would be nice if Ian would man up and be able to play. I'd rather see Pops play than Orberto with a jacked up thumb. Just saying.
Man oh man... looks like it will be another tough game tonight without Manu and Timmy.
I'm hoping Spurs can do it again. But they have got to be bummed out about Tim's diagnosis. Well, this is an opportunity for the guys to step up and show us what they can do. Will Pops be in uniform tonight (#54?)?
Most importantly, Tim's injury hopefully is not serious, I much rather have him chill and get way better before he plays again. He is our man in the playoffs. Our guys have got to be healthy. Come on Manu-get healthy as well.

Day-to-day in 2000 really meant out for the season. Day-to-day in 2004 meant three weeks. Hopefully that keeps trending south.Until the Spurs say otherwise, however, we have to assume the report of "day-to-day with a bruised quad" is all there is.
If this were the playoffs, Tim would be playing and we wouldn't even know about it.
I saw tendonosis on ESPN.com too.
Give him time. And not as big a deal, since Portland is on a back to back as well, playing last night in Houston. Hopefully Timmy can be back for the Cleveland game. More rest for Timmy, more PT for Pops (hopefully). Could be worse, even though it is getting tough hearing about injuries every day.
It's tendonosis in every report. Only McDonald got it wrong, as usual
I have no doubt about that.
In my expert medical opinion, this sucks the right out of a baboon's anus. Get well soon, Tim!
From an orthopoedic musculoskeletal physician, this is the deal... Tendinitis and tendonosis are basically the same thing. It's just semantics... They are tiny tears on the tendon. Good news is rest will heal it up. Bad news is Timmy doesn't have time to rest it and he will be using his quad everytime he jumps, thus exacerbating the problem. Bottom line-Timmy will get some rest, but he's going to come back before he's really healed, so let's just hope he can withstand the injury long enough to get through the playoffs. Again, man oh man....
He will be fine.
Nothing REALLY serious.
Aren't we all?
. It sounds like they definitely said tendinosis, and not tendinitis. Sometimes the use of terminology is a little loose, but if they meant what they said, tendinosis involves damage to (degeneration of) the tendon itself. There could be a number of causes, but with a basketball player the most likely is "playing through" the pain of tendinitis over a prolonged period of time.
Tendinitis is an inflammatory condition, but tendinosis is a degenerative condition. Sometimes doctors use the term tendinosis when there is a partial tear of a tendon, even though the tear isn't related to the degeneration of tissue. But, generally speaking, tendinosis indicates some degeneration and an impairment of the healing process of the tendon. The fact that he says it has been hurting all season says that it is chronic.
When tendon breakdown exceeds the body's ability to repair, small "micro-injuries" occur. The damaged areas get "repaired" with abnormal replacement cells (collagen). The resulting area is not as strong as normal tendon tissue.
A lot depends on the progression of the condition, and whether there are calcifications. But tendinosis is a cycle. Once the tendon is damaged and heals improperly, it is more succeptible to future damage.
I think I would rather have heard that it was a small meniscus tear.
Is everyone else just learning the word "tendonosis" today like I am? I thought it was a misprint the first time I saw it.
