SAN ANTONIO (August 4, 2015) – After a physical exam, which included a MRI, San Antonio Spurs center Boban Marjanović has been diagnosed significant bony edema in his left ankle. The exam was performed by Dr. Richard Ferkel, director of sports medicine at the Southern California Orthopedic Ins ute.​

The Spurs medical team, in conjunction with Dr. Ferkel’s recommendation, has determined the injury compromises Marjanović's ability to play basketball without compromising long-term health and future injury.

As a result of these findings and in the best interest of his future health, Spurs officials have informed Marjanović and the Serbian Basketball Federation that, under the agreement between FIBA and the NBA, Marjanović will not be allowed to participate with the Serbian National Team in Eurobasket 2015.

Has to do with the bone marrow swelling in an area often caused by other local damage to the bone or ligaments.

Explains the boot he was wearing in the photo.

Well, at least they know what his problem is. Spurs medical could never figure out what was wrong with Splitter's calf.

Misko Raznatovic (Boban's agent) on twitter:

We are totally disagree with the opinion of San Antonio and it is the absurd. We're trying to prove that the MRI results of feet are the same as two years ago, and that what they saw was not a result of injury, but the natural structure of the foot of 222cm tall human being.

If we succeed in our efforts, which are the maximum, we are ready to go in war, despite a very difficult text of the contract between FIBA and NBA.

Well this is certainly not the best way to start out his Spurs tenure.

[TXstbobcat]

That sucks! I hope he will be okay and have a good start to his NBA career with the Spurs.

[Brazil]

gonna end well

[FuzzyLumpkins]

handwringers have already written him off. we already knew he was hurt and if this is indeed the injury it's not a huge deal and treatable several ways.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

We just need one or two seasons of sparse minutes from him

[Chinook]

If they don't like the way the Spurs do things, the team should cut him loose. Withey is still out there, isn't he?

[monkeypunk]

He's got plenty of time to rest now and come into camp healthy but if he aggregates it then it will likely be an ongoing issue with him for the rest of his career. Likely due to him being a ing giant, bodies aren't designed to take that much weight on them little tiny feet bones.

Luckily, he's only signed for one year and won't even be relied on this coming year anyway as we have Bonner!!!!!!!! Yayyyyyyyyaarggghhh blechhh.... Sorry just vomited in my mouth a lil.

Sit his ass. His agent is acting dumb.

Is his contract guaranteed? Wouldn't that be a $2.5M or so hit?

His agent is not well versed in the Spurs way of doing things. Airing his grievances will only doom his client to the end of the bench all year.

Gonna start WWIII

[dweaver99027]

Manu got over it. Boban will too.

Yeah, if the team cuts him, they have to pay him. However, if Boban wants to play for the SNT, he can take a buyout of $0, which means he wouldn't affect the cap or tax.

He is great agent, the best in Europe for sure and he love basketball and know how things are. And now he is just fighting for Serbian NT and for Boban. Cuz Boban's dream is to play for Serbia at some big tournament. And if Misko have right (about structure of Boban's foot), why he would'nt have tried to convince them to let Marjanovic play.

Ewww, I hate when that happens, especially when I have a bowl of Captain Crunch with Crunchberries for breakfast.

I think I'd take the recommendations of the USC sports medicine, orthopedic specialist in ankle and other bone injuries, over that of a sports agent, for goodness sake.

[RD2191]

Get that got and his agent the outta here.

[Genjuro]

Raznatovic is a very powerful guy in Europe, almost almighty in the Balkans. Godfather type. He has influence on who gets selected for the Serbian NT, so pushing for Marjanovic to play this summer is a way of strengthening his position there.
