Thier Trainer Will Sevring said the same thing at half time of the mavs game on friday on 1200 woai, although he did say that that decision was not his to make but he thought that's how the team was going to go with his rehab.
I like it. Give him a chance to get in rhythm instead of rushing him back into the rotation and possibly hurting him again.

no high hopes for anderson. history indicates he will not see playoff minutes.
So based on that assumption Gary Neal won't either?
Psh, the D-League? that man!
Hopefully he'll do like Twilliams and smash out a couple of triple-doubles
he looks greg oden old
Excellent move. When he's done with his stint he should be more than ready for his old minutes.

“This coming week, he’s going to be going one-on-one, two-on-two, three-on-three, that kind of thing, so he’ll have his first contact,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “The end of the week, or some time the following week, he’ll go down to the D-League to play for a while, so he’s a couple of weeks away from coming back to us, probably towards the end of the month.”
We've been extremely fortunate that we haven't had an REAL injuries this season. But what happens if one of our guards get hurt. Then what? Are we gonna rely on Larry Owens instead of James Anderson? I just don't get why Pop won't play this guy.
Good call
Yeah, good call Phila.
JA's D-League transition plan is a very good idea. He should be fully ready to roll by the time he gets called back up.
It also is well-timed with the call-up and 10-day contract of Owens. The Spurs can get a free look at him during JA's Austin stint.
As per ESPN insider 20 minutes ago.

Looks like he's going back to the Toros to (presumably) get back into game-shape without burdening the Spurs.
Mother er I'm about 12 hours too late. ing . Close this thread please. My bad for assuming ESPN was up to date on this sort of thing.
He never was in Austin before.
Props to Phila_Chamberlain for being in-touch with the FO's thinking.
I've long been an advocate of using the D-League for baseball-style rehab stints. Glad to see the Spurs are giving it a try.
I think its a good decision to send him to the D-League. The way the Spurs are playing right now there is no urgency for Anderson to play NBA minutes. He needs to get in shape, which he was not even at the start of the season ...
That may be the case, but more because we tend to shorten the rotation in the playoffs (and he'll have a hard time getting PT over Neal, a fellow rookie) as opposed to history showing an unwillingness towards playing rookies in the playoff.
Parker, Beno, and Blair all saw regular playoff minutes. Hill sat most of games 1 & 2 his rookie year (which Pop later acknowledged as a mistake), but played regular minutes the remainder of the series.
Most of the other rookies that this board wanted to see in the postseason turned out to be crap.
Because he's still hurt?
