Looks like 6 to 8 mos recovery.
True. They always say the end comes suddenly and it's never pretty.
Looks like 6 to 8 mos recovery.
The clinical recovery time frame is 6-10 months from the day of surgery, increasing with age. And, well, he's kind of old and has weight issues already.
But he`ll get the best medical care, in US or in France. The big question is - will this be worth. At age 36, start from the scratch and not being able to play his style of basketball. Tony will say he`ll fight to comeback, obviously.
The best medical care in the world can't overcome biology.
the worst thing is that tony likely won't retire to start (nor should he), so spurs would have to start the process for declaring a disabled player exception without really knowing if he would miss the entire year.

Old in respect to What? He's 34, not 50. He'll be back around January or February of next year.
Do you realize hes' been playing professionally since he was 15 or so? He's 34 but with a lot more mileage.
Spurstalk internet doctors reacts the same way to all serious injuries.When Paul George went down with a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula, it was a career ender
OOPS!!! When Durant went down with Jones stress fracture in his right foot, it was he'll never be the same again.
OOPS!!! Parker will be back at some point and he will recover fully from his injury. And correct, his productivity on the court when he returns will be hampered by his age and mileage but not his injury sustained vs the Rockets.
Parker already had nagging injuries. Those nagging injuries come with mileage.
A serious injury only compounds those nagging injuries.
He'll be lucky if he can get out of bed without pain.
Maybe. Even if they have to cut his leg off, he'll still be a young multimillionaire with several rings.
TBF Paul George was a lot younger and it did take him a full season to recover. (Durant too in a way and had to have multiple surgeries, but also younger)... Paul George came back at the end of the season after the injury and he wasn't right, nor playing that well, so it was over a year for him to look like himself again.
Different injury but still requiring a very long rehab... with Tony being 34 I have to think he's out all of next season, so he will attempt a comeback at 36. His thing was always quickness, so his future was always uncertain the older he got anyways. It could go either way. He comes back as a vet with a small role in another season, or he doesn't.
Thank you TP9 for all you have done for the fans/ spurs franchise.
May you be at peace in retirement.
You will be missed.
Wait, so Tony wasn't faking it all those times?![]()
Is there a possibility that he doesn't play next season? Or worse, could it be a career-ender?
This is really sad regardless of how well or how bad he was playing, the guy is a Spurs legend. I guess most people here finally get what they want smh. It's gonna be so much tougher to win without our second best playmaker behind Kawhi.
Get well soon Tony...![]()
reading this stuff I was like ST creates his own narrative and suddenly it becomes the truth
Diaw has/had weight issues, Parker never has or had weight issues
sup bro... my condolences, tbh...
This injury by Parker not in a doubt in my mind has 100% GUARANTEED that Manu is going to retire after this season.
accepted brah
time to resign Manu and shut him down untill January so both can play together in 2018 tbh
Man, so cruel to Tony. He's been by far our second best player in the playoffs....
yes. if you don't see it, then you're a re
