Good thing it didn't appear to be some major twist and at least he could put some weight on it. Scary though.

seriously. I can't imagine how depressed I'd be looking back at this season if Duncan didn't finish it.
Think my heart skipped a beat when he went down. Moments like that make you realize how quick everything could change, with one misstep.
Glad to see him get up and walk off under his own weight. Don't want to call anything yet, but hopefully just something minor. Get well soon, Timmy D.
If you no help me now . . .
You guys haven't figured out what a pain baby Duncan is yet? There are probably half a dozen times a year where he rolls around in agony on the floor for 10 minutes.
Jobu been bery, bery good to me.
(And yes, I know how overly dramatic he can be when it comes to knees and ankles. But when he goes down nothing can be taken for granted, especially at this stage of his career.)
it's easy to say that AFTER the fact... but when he's down, it's different.
He's gunna be real sore.
Rapper is going to suicide before he realizes Duncan actually returns in the second half.
6 times a year? once a year, maybe, i'd say.
He was not writhing in pain, he just felt something tweak and wanted to play it safe. He was sitting on the floor, feeling it. Not "rolling around in agony". Idiot.
For anyone that missed it.

He said he wasn't sure what happened and that he'd have to see a replay. "My leg just kind of got hung up under me," to paraphrase.
Looks like he tweaked it on the screen he set at the top of the key and then exacerbated it when he stumbled after the rebound attempt.
Hyperflex, not extend, according to Timmy.
Duncan was setting a pick on Acie Law. His left foot was planted, and his left knee was bent. I thought Law ran into the inside of Duncan's knee and bent it outward. But in the replay, it doesn't look like there was any contact. He just started to turn while his knee was bent, and maybe his toe stuck a little bit.
He was back in the second half, but when he was just standing it looked to me like he was up on his left tiptoe a lot. He'll be getting an MRI in the morning, and I still wouldn't be surprised if they make him stay off of it for a couple of games. Even if there is no damage, that "tweak" was still from ligaments being strained. And if he was really up on his left toe, like I think he was, it's because it feels weak.
I'd rather be without him for a couple of games now, than be without him in the playoffs.
Thanks.
thank you god.
He fell down like he got shot.
Jeez.
BTW - in the interview, Tim was only talking about when he fell, while going for the rebound. But it looked like the injury happened a couple of seconds before, when he was setting the pick. (His face showed a of a lot of pain.) I know it sounds strange, but I wonder if he even remembers the first injury? Things happen in the heat of battle like that. When he fell, it looked like the knee just wouldn't hold him. But it looked like the reason it wouldn't hold him because of what happened to it while he was setting the pick.
Part of the evaluation process is knowing how the injury happened. They may feel differently about this after they look at the replays. What happened on that pick isn't what you would normally think of as a hyperflexion injury. When he fell, the knee hyperflexed - but there's another reason he fell to begin with
I'm just saying.

Duncan may be melodramatic at times but he is no Paul Pierce with his wheelchair crap.
From what I saw, it looked like he just took a misstep on the screen that had him somewhat jam his knee over the shin, so to speak -- I'm neither a doctor nor do I play one on a messageboard but that's the best I've got at the moment. I think that was the initial tweak and then on the rebound he got his foot caught up under him a bit after stumbling and that's when he went down.
But I'm pretty sure he was just trying to get through the question as quick as possible and not go too in-depth. Free throw shooting and injury, they're things Duncan doesn't want to talk about nor should anyone worth their salt ask him about them if they're any kind of Spurs fan.
Bas s . . .
I remember when he injured his knee in 2000 vs the Kings before halftime, and was concerned then that it was serious. I breathed a sigh of relief when he continued playing in the 2nd half and finished the game with 33 pts. Then he never played another game for the rest of that season.
Eh. You worry when he goes outside of bounds courtside and sits indian style. That's how you know he's thinking about it.
