Anderson=Captain Jack Jr.
He has a pin in his freaking foot. Not only is march return optimistic but the reality is that even if he returns and is healthy he will most likely not get the minutes he was warranted back before he got injured. We are talking about coach pop here.
Roddy Beaubois had the same injury back in August. He's still a long way from playing:
Roddy Beaubois‘ recovery from left foot surgery is progressing and the next step in the development really is steps – the underwater variety.
Beaubois will start walking on the underwater treadmill this week. If that goes well, he might be allowed to do some light work on the court, he said after today’s practice.
The recovery from early-August surgery has been a slow one and the stress fracture in the foot has been slow to heal.

Hopefully, James heals more quickly, but a return right after the All-Star break may be a more realistic target than mid-January.
I will say again, do not anticipate JA returning this season...
Jennings is being reported to have the same injury, a "fracture of the fifth metatarsal" per RealGM, and Yahoo has a story about how he broke it against San Antonio.
His timetable is suppposed to be 4-6 weeks after his surgery.
So what? Hes had a pin in his foot far a long time. Its not like that doubles the recovery time like you are asserting.
Knowing how Pop operates, we have pretty much no idea on how his recovery is going beyond people scouting for casts.
also re: healing times, it should be noted that Beaubois actually had to stay in the boot for 3 months.
Anderson has at least cleared that hurdle.
Truth is that we all don't have a clue on how well Anderson's rehab goes. Instead of doing some wild speculations, it would be wiser to just wait and see.
Trade deadline is on February 24th. If Anderson isn't back at that date, Spurs still have the possibility to do a minor trade to fix the backup SF spot.
Anderson giving back while healing
Written by Jeff Garcia | 05 December 2010
Even though San Antonio Spurs rookie James Anderson is still out of the line up nursing an injury, it certainly hasn't stopped him from giving back to the local San Antonio community.
Anderson took time out to help the San Antonio Food Bank sorting out food to make sure there is enough for the holidays:
"It means a lot, you know, just giving back and it's something I look forward to continue to do," said the San Antonio Spurs' rookie guard James Anderson. (source kens5.com)
Sure Spurs fans may be caught up in the team having the best record in the NBA and playing some of their best basketball in recent years, it's nice to see Anderson put things in perspective and see helping others is what truly matters in life.

Pop says James Anderson (foot) is "four or five days away" from being able to return to practice court. Still mid-to-late January for games.
Nice! Will be great to have him back.It will probably be a while before he is functional considering how bad he looked when he was out of shape to start camp.
Great news. It'll be nice to get some practice reports on him though I know it'll be a while before he gets in a groove again.
...I have been expecting the worst with this injury (out for the season), so this is great news. I hope he takes his time and has no further problems.
Imagine how good our second 5 will be when JA is back:
Hill
Neal
Anderson
Bonner
McDyesSplitter
Tiadrew McSplitter
Fantastic news!
Great news! Just great news! Made my day. I was trying to not get myself excited, just thinking he probably won't be back to way after the All-Star Break, but I'm so happy to see that he will start practice this week.
Mid-late January is great. That's like a whole month he can take to try to get back in the system, get out of his funk and get back into his groove. Then after the All-Star Break, we can all be one deep team again and start that post All-Star dominance!
Spurs are gonna be healthy again!
Great news indeed!. Udoka just continues to look worse and worse as each game passes....
the games so far with anderson, is he better then NEAL? does he have better upside then NEAL?
Great news! Lets pray he comes back fully healthy & can slide right back into the rotation.
until he practices the time of return is unknown.
let's check how he reacts on practice
That is very true, but it is still good news. Don't be a party pooper.
It is, but we knew he is gonna come back in mid Jan.
Still I think that he will be in rotation after the ASB
We actually did not know that for sure, & still don't...but it is good to get good news.
Great news! But where would he fit into the rotation, especially if Neal is playing as well as he did? At least they could bring him along slowly and not rely on him right away.
