Manu Tweet (Good news)

[Sii]

MRI showed an elbow sprain (Ulnar collateral ligament). I'm doubtful 4 sunday. Hope to make it. The pain is almost gone. Thx!

[Sisk]

Good news.

[Juggity]

So sounds like if not sunday's game, then possibly the next one!

[Mal]

He can tweet with his arm !

[ThePop]

I guess it's safe to say he will definately be back for game 2.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I think he'll even be back by Game 1. If most of the pain is actually gone, I'm sure he'll go by Sunday. Even if he broke his arm, he would try to be out there.

[GrandeDavid]

Awesome!

[DMC]

Morphine can do that...

All depends on the grade of the sprain.

The Spurs have not confirmed this critical bit.

If grade 1 or 2 he'll be fine with rest, ice and elevation.

If grade 3- it's Tommy John time and we can kiss our championship hopes goodbye.

My guess is that it's the latter and he'll be ok and back by game 3 (Spurs would have likely confirmed a season ending injury).

[Juanobili]

Seeing as how Tony and Tim both came REALLY early from their injuries this past month or so, maybe that'll be the case with Manu

The way it sounds he may not even miss one game. Game is two days away and he's already almost pain free and hoping to play. At most I would guess he misses one game.

its an elbow on his non shooting hand..not exactly the same as an ankle sprain.

[iminol]

OK, so now I can sleep safely (3.56 am in Poland)

[TE]

.......Good news

[dbreiden83080]

Manu is a warrior

he'll play..

[Sean Cagney]

I guess it's safe to say he will definately be back for game 2.

GOOD, if we do our routine drop game one in the playoffs we will need him back for that KEY game.

[Seventyniner]

He'll miss a max of one game, but I can see him suiting up on Sunday.

[Fpoonsie]

Didn't wanna make another thread for this, and I had no idea who to PM, so can somebody simply post the pic of Manu sittin on the sidelines w/ the Ratatouille characters amazed by his package? I think it is/was somebody's sig, but can't remember who...

[4>0rings]

If the pain is almost gone by today, he should be ready to play game 1 depending on the grade of sprain.

[manu the best]

Hallelujah ... This news Just made my day ..

Word. Sprain..no grade, degree, nothing. The next media session with Pop when reporters try to get clarification should go well. And by well I mean brutal.

[lefty]

He can tweet with his arm !

Manu's not missing a chance to slap the Grizzlies.
