    Video

    I was hoping he skipped the Rookie game (or whatever they're calling it) because Pop told him not to risk anything. Unfortunately, it sounds like he's legitimately injured. Watch the video above to see for yourself.

    Basically, he says that he tried to warm up but it his calf was still tight. Asked if he could have played if a regular season game, he says no. Asked if he'll be ready for Chicago on Wednesday, he says he doesn't know.

    Damn, that sucks. Good thing he didn't play. Don't want to go the route of Nene and Bargnani, who have been out for a long time.

    Even the rookies on the Spurs can't play 1 full game at 40 minutes without dying?

    I'm sure he'll play & I can't wait to see him defend Rose.

    Anyone else notice that Splitter was actually hurt before the Clippers game? When Blair got hooked early on and Splitter came in for about a minute, he was wincing and grabbing his calf then but he still went back in.

    When you're used to playing half those minutes all year long it can be a system shock to suddenly play 40+ and to top it off be asked to carry the team for most of the night in a very hostile environment.. this is really no big shocker this happened, there was bound to be repercussions. Just another example of Pop's fascination with unnecessary tinkering backfiring on him.

    Its league wide. This lockout, shortened, season is not doing the players any favors, as far as injuries.

    This is because Pop sat Tim and Tony and played him extended minutes against the Blazers.

    The only silver lining to this situation is that Kawhi actually smiled tonight....could be a good sign that this is nowhere near a serious injury

    Are you a professional ? You certainly seem to have the credentials.

    Man Spurs just can't catch a break! Hopefully it isn't serious at all. If Leonard's out on top of Splitter, Manu, and TJ being out, no chance they beat Chicago. At this rate Tony's gonna get injured in the ASG. Has anyone ever actually gotten an injury in the game?

    TBH I actually thought that when I was watching that joke of a game. I thought, wow Pop is running these bench guys hard today...almost double their usual minutes or more. I wonder if anyone will get hurt.

    +1

    I was also amazed nobody got hurt with the way the unstructured offense had guys hurtling toward the basket 1 vs 5 in reckless abandon every time down the court. I thought for sure Neal was going to sprain an ankle or worse on some of those suicidal drives to the rim.

    Leonard was only Spur who even gave half a against Portland on defense, and it cost him.

    Some players would give anything to be part of an All-Star Weekend game. I hope it's minor (it sounds like it is), but Kawhi just moved up more in my book for not trying to push things and taking a chance of making it worse.

    Ugh, the bench is being seriously depleted.
