I just posted this in the Game thread after I saw the tweet by McDonald. Hopefully these two days of rest does him a little good and he gets treatment...

Storyline for next round: Leonard's knee. It's bothering him and mild cause for concern.

Leonard and Doc Schmidt conferring at his locker when the doors opened postgame.

Hopefully just the normal tendonitis he has had and from chasing Klay around all series

This isn't anything new. Kawhi said it won't get better until the offseason.
...get healthy youngin.
Damn. Conferring at his locker doesn't sound good.
It's no surprise when he went from one of the team's top free throw shooters to one of the worst.
And this is why I'm not confident about the Memphis series. The Spurs are entering the series hobbled and tired.
Hopefully the 2 days off help.
What if it was just a casual conversation of "Hey Kawhi, how's the knee feeling" kind of thing. Sometimes media can overblow things...
Been saying this for a while, whenever he comes down on that knee he always has a grimace on his face. He won't be healthy until the off season. That knee affects his shooting which is why he's been struggling lately.
Plus, if Kawhi's knee was REALLY bad, I highly doubt he would've been able to chase around Thompson all series and also throw down that explosive dunk tonight...
Just think of how good this guy will be when he's healthy next year.
Hes young. No concern at all with duncan limping, parker ina iron lung and manu crawling like a bug
lmfao oh for christ sakes. Unless he did something at the end of the game, its the same injury hes had all year long. Also, he looked pretty damn explosive and good tonight.
2 days of treatment, off the feet. McDonald said something to look at but not to be freaked out by.
Kawhi is the least of my concerns going into this series.
Saw no grimace nor straining after those threes made and dunk in the 4th quarter.........
If he plays the corpse of Tayshaun Prince to a standstill, that's good enough for me.
BTW, Jack. It would be nice to have the insurance policy, especially this series where you could give him a vacation on Prince and let Kawhi get some rest. Such is life.
YES, but Next year is too late! This team a year older next year! I wish he was healthy nowOh well Wade is banbed up too etc. This is the playoffs, most are not healthy at this point.
Damn, I feel like he'll be fine for the playoffs. Hopefully he strengthens it and it isn't an issue as his career progresses.
It doesn't seem to affect his athleticism fortunately.
McDonald is a dumbass. The knee has been bothering him all season/playoffs.
dude has to shut down james un finals
My only concern, is if he aggravates it more or tweaks it. If it's weak now, something might happen. He seems to be playing great with the condition it's in now...let's just hope nothing happens to worsen it.
Probably needs it scoped during off season.
Hope that dunk after he chased his own miss didn't aggravate it![]()
He's fine. Did you see that elevation on his dunk last night..
Non issue..
TMac... better cram hard to learn Grizzlies tendencies.
But seriuosly, it's only a slight cause for concern. His running gait looks normal. It doesn't seem as if he's compensating for anything.
