Manu Injury Thread

[TimDunkem]

Two things:

- Manu before playoffs:
2008 Manu's ankle,
2009 Manu's ankle/leg,
2010 Manu's nose,
2011 Manu's elbow.

- Resting starters in 10/11:
Timmy rested on back 2 back vs. Bobcats than played vs. GSW --> sprain anke,
Manu rested on first game of b-2-b (Lakers), than come back vs. Suns --> ?!?!?!?

What a karma.

Fixed.

when manu's arm got caught in the pick he was very lucky that his whole hand didnt get caught on timmy instead it was his fingers so that gave some leeway/ play as his elbow got hyperextended.. we would be done if his palm would have been caught with timmy.. this is why i honestly believe this is the best case scenario for manu if were talking about injuries ( ankle =done) even if this was his left elbow, but this is the least important limb (4 manu) ill take this over an ankle injury anyday!

I noticed this as well. His elbow definitely got locked, but I don't think it got bent back TOO far because he just barely got his hand caught up on Tim's screen. Definitely looked painful though.

Please be okay, Manu.

Manu's broken nose definitely hurt our chances last year. We definitely would not have been swept at least.

There is some kind of curse going on.

If MRI does show ligament damage or tear, that could be trouble.

From those who know things: If Manu's MRI shows no ligament damage or tear, it's likely he plays in some (or all) of Memphis series ...

If it's a simple hyperextension, playoff sked helps immensely. If he skips Game 1, he'll have full week to heal. Enough for Kirk Hinrich.

RT @jmcdonald_saen: Manu Ginobili has a hyperextended right elbow. X-rays are negative. He will be re-examined Thursday in San Antonio.

settle down, step off the ledge. It's gonna be allright

I wonder if Pop is going to obfuscate the true nature of Manu's injury. Why give the Grizzlies any help in preparation? For that reason, I'm ready for a diagnosis that lists Manu as day-to-day no matter the severity.

And it's honestly the best strategy, even though it'll be annoying to us.

They should say it's a 2-3 weeks injuy and then start Manu in game 1. those Grizzlies.

Everybody is freaking out and stressed like they are waiting for the results of their girlfriend's pregnancy test.

I agree if Manu's injury is medium severity and he'd miss a couple of games. But if he is done for the year, we'll know right away.

I got everything crossed here cept my legs. I don't want to pinch Tamp's ears.

[bresilhac]

This waiting for an announcement by the team or a tweet by Manu is excruciating...

What you wanna bet they're going to reschedule the MRI to tomorrow since Bynum is using it today?
