So much for him being back this week.
This is worrisome. Rather worrisome, indeed, ol' chap.

Why even play in the ing summer if this is going to happen?
At least the Wolves will be without Pekovic tomorrow night. Duncan and Diaw should eat their frontline alive.
At least Tony and Manu didnt play tbhWhy even play in the ing summer if this is going to happen?
Tiago said he doesn't know when he'll be back, he's doing work but doesn't know, maybe a week, maybe 3. He tried to practice before Cavs game but was still hurting. Said he's very frustrated, he wants to play. Here is the link in Portuguese: http://globoesporte.globo.com/basque...ero-jogar.html
Still hurting? 2-3 months atleast.
Where is the pain? Did he elaborate? Is it his calf, back or both?
Want him back to reduce miles on Duncan.
This sounds very very very bad to me.
calf, said the back is fine
If he's done for the year,better hope for a Boris Diaw miracle at the deadline waiver wire or put beli Cojo/Mills on trade block for a big.We got 3 good pgs.Sounds like he's done,bas .
If it's just the calf, then it'll be fine; he's just being his pussy self. Just get back sometime in the next month before Duncan runs himself into the ground.
If he's still not sure it's the back or calf, it's a nerve issue.
If it's a nerve issue, it's not getting better without surgery and/or months of rest.
Let's hope it's just the latter. Spurs can stay afloat until Jan/Feb without Tiago. He just needs to be healthy for the final stretch.
If the issue is in the back and his calf is hurting, it's the sciatic nerve. If is the sciatic nerve, it's a spinal disc. Why the spurs don't hire some specialists to treat him, because it's chronic, the only way to relieve it is some specific workout and some physiotherapy.
Good post.
Maybe that's "the work" he's been putting in?
When he returns, he should come off the bench on a semi-permanent basis (save for games against Memphis etc.) Having him backup Duncan would keep both of their minutes down 28/20 with some overlapping minutes possibly. I'd love to see Diaw return to the bench as well with Cojo, Manu and Belinelli and Splitter anchoring.
Too bad we don't have a consistent fourth big. Maybe Baynes can serve as a "Blair starter" playing 6 or 7 minutes to start the first and 3rd with spot minutes in the second and 4th. He needs to continue to develop as a finisher and defender to fill out the role but the hustle is there.
Just keep starting Bonner in the regular season until April then reinsert Splitter.
He didn't take time off and played in the worlds this summer. I am not particularly worried considering how Popovich and Splitter baby injuries. Maybe it will never heal but I doubt it.
He is our best pnr defender and it's not particularly close. He is our best counter to Nowitzki, Aldridge, Griffin, Love, and the league's 4s. He needs to start.
This is getting worrisome, tbh. How isn't he seeing a specialist by now?
I am betting earlier than Steve Nash
He HAS seen a specialist last week in LA. Ruled out back issue. Let's see where we are with Tiago a week from now. Right now, he's trying to play, just not quite ready yet. It's November. Let's let him get healthy.
