lol at Kyle Anderson being the perfect replacement
You may be right.

It didn't look bad. The ankle didn't completely fold. In slow motion it seem more of a foot twist, His reaction is what look bad.
I just take it as rest time for him.
I'm not in the camp that's saying "great, Manu can rest," because he has had problems coming back from injury. There are always lots of shots of him in the lockerroom after the game saying "I just need to get my confidence back" when he returns from injuries.
The good news is Patty & Cojo will be getting minutes. Having them sharpen their chops right before the playoffs is perfect, and one of the only things I felt the team was missing during this recent stretch -- the other is Diaw hitting open shots at a respectable percentage.
Manu takes FOREVER to get back in rhythm after injuries so even if he's only out for a week, hopefully he'll be ready for the playoffs.
Good news, or Pop wishful thinkin and hopin?
I was holding my breath when he rejected Martins layup and glad he didn't pull a hammy on that play, but, of course, he gets injured later in the game. But good to hear it's nothing too serious.
He'll probably miss impt games: 2 games vs Dallas, a game vs Thunder & a game vs Memphis.
Pop is THE MOST conservative injury coach in the NBA. If he says 7-10 days, there is no need to further project missed time beyond that. If you watched the injury, it was of the twist variety, as opposed to a roll, which is way worse. He'll probably start bball activities in a few days, and return for either the first or second Dallas game.
Well the good news is that he gets the rest that I was hoping he would get earlier.
Watched the highlight, as I didn't watch the game. It looked like a grade 1 sprain. He didn't completely roll his ankle, which would have been 3 weeks. 7 to 10 days seems about right. When Manu went down last year for a few games, it was Mills who stepped. And that confidence in Patty carried all the way into the postseason. Let's hope Mills can regain some that form. If so, this injury could be a blessing in disguise.
I knew something bad was going to happen when I saw Manu come in spry as in the game. He was playing 100% physical effort level and most everytime old Manu plays 100% physical effort level he injures himself.
to be fair it could just have been a bad luck play. didn't see the injury play.
old man needs to take it easy especially since this is early March smh
oh and ppl forget he will turn 38 in July. Old farts take a long time to heal. IMO 2 weeks minimum and another 2 weeks to slowly round to form (hopefully he doesn't re-injure it, because due to his advanced age, re-injury is very common)
So I'd say at best we get a decent Evita by mid April. At worst, he's done.
WTF?? stay by your preaching moron.... aren't the spurs a better team without him? here you go, now we can repeat according to your logic, nothing to worry about.
He tweaked it. It's not even a full grade sprain. That would take two weeks for a healthy young player to recover from.oh and ppl forget he will turn 38 in July. Old farts take a long time to heal.

Done.
Umm... Achilles strains do hurt because they provide the ability for your foot to flex and you'd have lost that sensation, so it's an alien feeling.
I'd say it's a Grade 2 Ankle Sprain. If it causes him to be imbalanced, then that sucks because a dangerous Manu is BALANCED.
The San Antonio Spurs’ Manu Ginóbili is a statistical freak: he has no imbalance whatsoever in his game — there is no one way to play him that is better than another. He is equally efficient both off the dribble and off the pass, going left and right and from any spot on the floor.
We need him to be better than 08 Playoffs Ginobili who couldn't explode or cut very well. Like Brent Barry famously said, "We had the MA but not the NU."
We don't need that version of Ginobili. So it's better that he heals up.
More Patty Thrills is never a bad thing.
hope I'm wrong tbh. But Manu is known to take his time to come back to 100% form.
disagree. I always said an under 15-20mpg under control Evita is essential for our championship chances.
Yep, every time.

This injury doesn't really mean much, he's just cancer to the team anyway, right?
Why the
If he had pulled that on Joey Crawford, Manu would've been tossed from the building.
Which would've have prevented the injury that followed and gotten Joey suspended but once again thinking that fans pay to see him ref. Sounds like a proper win-win. Shame he wasn't reffing.
