I'm heading out on a long road trip today. I appreciate all the updates. I'm sick with worry about checking my phone throughout the day.
Stay positive.
When the are we gonna hear more specific news regarding Tim's leg. Something better be posted in here or one of the NBA websites when i wake up in the morning or i'm gonna go freakin nuts.

Yes, because the team is rousting doctors out of bed just so you idiots can have an update. Chill the out already. They are going to take their time to get the diagnosis right and takes time.
Here's info from ESPN Insider...
Duncan's sprained knee, ankle
The San Antonio Spurs finally got Tim Duncan back from a four-game absence due to a sore left knee Saturday, only to see him felled once again when Martell Webster rolled up on his legs. Duncan last just 13 minutes in that contest before being hurt and exiting the game with assistance. He was diagnosed with a sprained left knee and a sprained right ankle.
According to Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News, Duncan was able to leave the arena under his own power, sans crutches. Obviously, that is a positive sign, but considering that it was just a week ago that Rajon Rondo appeared to be OK just prior to being diagnosed with a torn ACL in his knee, Spurs fans will be holding their collective breath until further testing is completed. Duncan likely will undergo an MRI on the joint early next week.
The short-term good news is that the Spurs don't play again until facing the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, but that brief respite from game action leads directly into their rodeo trip. That means Duncan will have to take his sore knee and ankle on nine-game road trip that is interrupted for the All-Star break. We won't know when he will return until he is examined further, but with le hopes on the line, it's safe to assume he won't return until he is close to 100 percent.
I don't think I've been this anxious and nervous about an MRI in a long time. Stay positive Spurs fans.
Washington coach Randy Wittman said he heard Duncan’s injuries were not serious.
“I just talked to (the Spurs’) doctors, and they said he’s going to be fine,” Wittman said.

Didn't really look that bad in my opinion. Out 2 months, tops.
Well I did not see it until now and if that injury is not serious then TD should be forever known as Gumby. For the love of.....
I'm still going to :pray: .....
CIA pop. Preparing for the post-Duncan era, he paid off a few wizards to make sure the spurs make it into the lottery, which they will then win, the last year Stern is commish.
Just to screw with him.
JMcDonald_SAEN More Webster: "My prayers, my heart goes out to him that everything is okay and he has a speedy and healthy recovery."
JMcDonald_SAEN Webster on his role in Duncan's fall: " I was sad to see him go down. I would never wish that upon anybody. It was crazy it happened."
Just a sprain, Duncan was more scared than anything and didn't want to put any pressure on it *just in case*.
I'm not worried at all
This would have been the perfect opportunity for Baynes to step in and get some serious minutes; and really get some valuable nba experience; now thanks to Pop's foolish decision to send him to the Detrimental League we'll be stuck watching the turds duke it out....
Duncan's injury is going to make the Spurs role players grow some balls, I'm looking for someone like Kawhi to really step up his game, same with Splitter and hopefully Baynes. No need to look at the negatives of this should TD be out a few weeks. The team may struggle at times but will learn not to coattail Duncan making the Spurs a much better team.
In the end, if it is "only" a sprained left knee and a sprained right ankle, then how long will he likely be out?
Good to see your in playoff form with your takes. I'm curious if you wipe after you get ted on in here?
They won't really know that until they do an MRI. I think they said it would be early next week. It useless to even speculate on time missed until there is a definite diagnosis.
Baynes hadn't played in three weeks. He was in no condition to "get some serious minutes". He was huffing and puffing pretty badly in his short bursts in the Charlotte game.
He logged 17 minutes in that game and for all his "huffing and puffing" didn't do bad work at all, in fact he had 7 pts & 9 rebounds. I see no reason why his minutes couldn't have been gradually increased to 20-25 over the next week or two until he got his wind back.
That's what I'm hoping too tbh. Probably got freaked out since it's been sore the last couple of weeks.
But he was down for quite a while and seemed to be in a lot of pain.
Duncan always does that though. That's his mo when he gets injured
