I want to know what is going on with Kawhi. Not getting any info out of the Spurs about it is getting ridiculous.
Why isn't the San Antonio media all over the Spurs asking about his injury and what is going on with it? Is he progressing? Is he healing? Isn't this their job to get this kind of information?
I understand the Spurs being secretive, but is the SA media that gutless that they won't get on the Spurs about it and ask for details?
Is any other team in the NBA this secretive about injuries during the regular season where they won't give any info to the media at all about their star player/s.
First it was said to be a bruised hand, then the commentators briefly mentioned during a game that it was a torn ligament and now he was listed again tonight as "out with a bruised hand".
What injury is it, how bad is it, is he progressing at all. How about getting some info. SA media is complete ing fail. I don't see what the Spurs are getting out of this by being so secretive during the regular season.
Sadly Ice I don't think anyone knows at this point. Someone higher up might now but they are keeping it on the hush with this injury. I feel it is really bad and they are not disclosing how bad but can hope it's just CIA pop and overcautious on this one but I doubt it. The fact it is such a secret makes me think it is worse than it appears.
Career ending sadlyGood thing we didn't max him out this summer
Out for the season imho. Gotta keep quite until we can make a trade to maintain some leverage. Also keep fans from throwing in the towel and stop attending.
I'm not supposed to say this, but T Park sources have told me he'll be back within the next two weeks...
Even if it's bad, what's the point of keeping it a secret. I doubt it's that bad otherwise the Spurs players body language out on the court would probably be bad.
If Kobe were on the Spurs a year and a half ago when he had that injury they probably wouldn't tell anyone for weeks, yet in LA you get that info in a day or so. The Spurs would have probably said something like - oh, we weren't sure what the injury was, we got this doctor and he hasn't seen that type of injury in 50 years.
What kind of freaking doctors do the Spurs have over there? They did a similar thing with Splitter. They got guys that haven't seen the injury and don't know what is wrong with their own players.
Kawhi being out isn't the issue. The team is playing poorly on both ends. You go that far in the playoffs three consecutive years and it's going to weigh on everyone from the ownership down to the bench.
If you are with the Spurs organization you are saying "bruised hand." They have to go with that if they work for the Spurs. The press have speculated on a more severe injury, but they don't know for sure. Pop is supposed to have said he might require surgery in the off season, but I didn't hear that interview.
It kind of reminds me of Tiago's calf injury to begin the season. Same lack of information.
This is making me nervous...Career ending sadly
either kawai's hand is seriously fuked up or popovich is sidelining him so other teams will show no interest in signing him. It's one of the 2. I'm thinking it's mind game
Lol so stupid. His hand is pretty ed up if he couldn't even palm a ball a week ago. If they haven't opted for surgery it must be showing some progress though.either kawai's hand is seriously fuked up or popovich is sidelining him so other teams will show no interest in signing him. It's one of the 2. I'm thinking it's mind game
If I recall correctly on his second hand injury, he went up and landed on his own hand with all of his weight. Gonna take a while for that to heal. Just be patient...
No excuse for the rest of the team to play like though, that's on them and the coaching staff. Pop and his bull doghouse should have let KA play more over the last few games. We need that spark off the bench since Manu has been scouted to and back and Boris is playing soft for whatever reason.
Free KA!
The way they have handled Kawhi's injury reminds me a lot like '00 when Duncan got injured. In '00 they were very secretive about the injury and calling it knee inflammation and it wasn't until playoff tickets were bought that they announced Duncan was out with a meniscus tear.
Well, you know, from what Pop has already said it seems super serious to me. When he (Pop) said there was stuff "floating around in there", that cannot be good.
For a while Pop was kind of saying that it was a matter of pain tolerance - but if you have stuff "floating around in there", isn't it going to be a matter of more pain every time it gets hit during a game?
Kawhi's hand is still swollen and Tony's leg is still swollen, and I don't see either one of them improving. TP has gone to see a specialist, and Kawhi went to a specialist who said he hadn't seen anything like it in his entire career.
I do't think it sounds at all good.
And it could not be clearer that we need BOTH of those guys to beat the best in the West.
You realize the link Nono posted was a joke, right? There are no 'specialists' for mild strains. They're minor, day-to-day injuries. I know it's hard for you to wrap your mind around it but it truly is an insignificant minor injury. Enrique is just a pussy that can't play through the slightest of pain.

Yeah I know E-N's site reference was a joke, but TP DID see a specialist, Tiago DID see a specialist, and Kawhi DID see a specialist. When seemingly minor things are not healing, people go to find out why.
Pop is the one who said that Tony's leg was still swollen. That was about 5 days ago, think
You know, actually, I think I have picked up somewhere around that you might question TP's toughness. Can't remember exactly why I got that impression about what you think, but I somehow tumbled to it.
Its a pain tolerance issue not an injury. Anyways where did you hear that Enrique saw a specialist? I heard as much about Kawhi and Tiago bc they had actual injuries but nothing regarding Enrique. Pretty hilarious if he did though since Derrick Rose missed 1 game with the same exact injury.
Mike Monroe tweeted this 15 minutes ago.
Popovich on Kawhi Leonard's potential return: 'Later, rather than sooner.'
If he's out for the damn year, then say so. Enough with this CIA bull .
MVPLeonard will be back after all star break, book it
be back against the wiz
thats a sarcastic later tbh..
Yup that pisses me off wish they would be up front about the injury. If he is truly out for the year and they never announce it until the season is over its going to be like a Derrick Rose type of Saga.
At this point, its just a mystery. We'll just have to wait and wait
At least Patty's back sooner than expected. I thought he was out til after the All-Star break.
