I'm not all that concerned. At least, not yet. Y'all can say "told ya" to me later in the season.

No wonder why Manu didn't rule out retirement when he came back from the summer. It's very concerning that he's already had two injuries even before the season started. Well at least Nando will get a lot more playing time now. Wouldn't mind giving Manu more of an assistant coaching job in the meantime to at least give him something to do.
While this is a bummer, no doubt, hopefully Pop will use this as an opportunity to give some of the younger guys a run. As monkeypunk said, maybe give Nando some good time and see what he can do when the games are real.
Shouldn't we have seen this coming? He played in the Olympics. He maybe 35 but he's got a 40yr old body. I'm waiting on Tony's injuries to start piling up.
Go Lakers !
Well
As long as It doesn't happen in the playoffs SA is fine. SA doesn't need Manu to win regular season games. They need him healthy in the playoffs.
Bonner never gets injured though
Maybe we can sneak Patty into the backup PG role and shift Gary Neal over to the backup SG role behind Danny Green.
damn better now than later I guess...but still hope manu's body can hold for a few more seasons

Washington should do that for us. We get two very well rounded big men, professional, versatile, good on both ends of the floor and relatively young, but expensive. While the wizards get two big but short contracts in manu and jax where they can have massive cap room for next offseason. Our front court goes from being thin, small and ty, to big and talented. Manu and Jax can retire or be waived and the Wizards can tank and get lottery picks the next few years to build a good team around John Wall. Preferrably Manu gets waived and comes back to us ;-)
That seems to be the plan, tbh
Anyway, put Manu in bubble wrap until the All-Star break.
Patty Mills is a great backup PG to Tony. We have no problems there, that dude can ball. (I'm an Aussie so i'm not biased lol)
After the game against Hornets, Spurs have tough stretch with games against Thunder, Jazz, Pacers and Clippers. It would be nice if Ginobili could come back quickly because he will be needed. Backs spasms doesn't sound too serious so hopefully he will back as soon as against thunder.
Tough break for Manu.. and for the Spurs. Hope to see him back soon.
No need to rush him back quickly ... but I am always concerned about his health
He'll play against OKC. They just want him fresh, no thanks to the awful NBA schedule geeks who have the Spurs playing the second game of a back-to-back season opening week against the defending conference champs at home...and in prime time on international TV. Gee, that's neat and fair!
it says that where?
Well, it's an opportunity for Nando and Mills.
It's an opportunity for Mills; De Colo won't see a meaningful second. And I'm not sure why people are pretending as if this slides Jackson into the sixth man role, when it'll clearly slide Neal into that role.
Speaking of De Colo though, I and others questioned if the Spurs would really pay him $1.4M to be inactive, but apparently 13 man active rosters are now permanent. It may sound like semantics, but it's easier to sell someone on at least being in uniform, especially on a team that is likely to have a number of blowouts.
Does it hurt much?
I wonder how De Colo will play out, now that Manu will be out for a while. I hope he can play decent from the few extra minutes he may receive.
Why would dispensing knowledge hurt?
Being wrong might hurt so much that you had to make excuses for yourself with no prompting.
I'm not making any excuses. I'm saying, that helps explain why they'd have paid him that and why he'd have agreed to come over.
