Let's go ahead and make this the Splitter and Manu (potentially) injury thread

@manuginobili limping to locker room after final play of 1st half vs. Clips; no rewport yet
Against the Clippers, Tiago Splitter got fouled by Blake Griffin going up for a shot. He shot both free throws but then hobbled up the court. He left the game and has been diagnosed with a calf strain.
Only word thus far is he won't return for tonight. Unfortunately, he's had calf strains in the past that have kept him out for weeks at a time.
Edit:
Manu Ginobili left the game with a strained oblique muscle on his left side.

10 day break will be good for him....then he misses out in rookie game
calf injuries is only cureable by tattooing them or fckn them according to koriwhat and KBP..
ps. go sign malcom thomas or fesenko
Calf strain(s) or a calf strain in his 11 year pro career?
sucks....hope its not that bad cause spurs need splitter....
I feel bad for Splitter. He's been a big part of our team this season and this injury will set him back. Pop will be even more strict with his minutes.
Not sure where the Spurs go from here. Pop won't trust a 10 day contract guy and I don't see them making any trades either. I fear we're going to ride Bonner and Blair and hope that Leonard can handle some of the pf duties too.
Manu's sitting on the bench now so he should be fine.
well if splitter is out for awhile and I hope not...spurs need to sign another big....but I cross my fingers and splitter plays monday...get well soon splitta man
Manu is good to go -
Mike Monroe @Monroe_SA
@manuginobili looks good to go for 2nd half for #Spurs
Nene injured his calf and is wearing a boot. Hope it's not that bad.
This is what the FO get for trying to ride a lockout season with 4 bigs.
You think they haven't tried to bring in a quality 5th big?
Maybe avoiding injury while winning is Pop's reasoning for Tiago's minutes situation this year... now what the do we do now with one legit big man?
this man, you know splitter and manu get hurt because they play with guts and like REAL MEN!!!!....pssshhh BONNER???? never gets injured!! because hes a fragile kiss ass & doesn't dare risk potentially injury b/c bonner is a damn scrub and WILL ALWAYS BE A SCRUB
So are we hoping for his return against CHI?
2 weeks out

The ways to somehow get a jab in at Bonner are indeed many.
Bonner has no muscles to strain.
Not only do we lose splitter, now Duncan has to play more minutes. FCK...
Any Free agent bigs out there worth signing?
We've got to get a good god damn big man to go with this team. I'm all for trading our first and 2nd round pick next year. Or even in the season after. We are another good/solid big man away from winning a le.
They got exactly what they deserved. Maybe they can bring in another 6-8 or under scrub, who can't defend or shoot. Surely, that will vault them back to being elite defensively.
Still no word on Ginobli?
