    It was bad..He was shooting with no lift and moving with one leg when he was still on the court. They allowed him to play for a bit but it was the right call.

    Pop took a huge risk here that would have tarnished his reputation. People who didn't watch the game would have blamed him not force playing Kawhi.

    But it was needed. I thought he looked so bad...

    If he played him in OT we lose and it would have made his inury significantly worse. Hope we close this one out in Thursday and Kawhi gets all the rest.
    Good post. I hope the same. It didn't look good at all. and as expresionless as Kawhi is normally he looked both worried and sad at the same time... He wanted to play so badly one could tell.
    Rest up Kiwi.

    Lots of ice, no practice tomorrow all day leg up and wake up early for massage and ice before the game and maybe he'll get back to 80%...

    TBH.. no trolling.
    I am concerned Manu played 32 minutes myself. I think he's going into the cryogenic chamber tonight.
    Put him into ice block for 2 days and defrost right before game

    No one does. I love Kawhi, but that ankle was in terrible state.

    Risky business playing your franchise player in a non-elimination game he barely can move.
    he had already slipped.
    the risk with things like that is him favoring the ankle could make him screw up something else tbh. That is how the bad injuries sometimes happen... not even on the original sore spot.

    Yep. Exactly! I even thought he was playing like he was dinged up before the ankle injury. We may not beat the Rockettes, but if we do, we don't have a chance against the Dubs this season. You don't put your franchise player at risk under these cir stances.

    He said that cause he's mad at pop.

    No one in the spurs organization makes definitive answers about Injuries. Leonard did because im sure he's emotionally sad for not playing...Hope they show him tape and let him know he's got a bad ankle.

    Kawhi wanted and could have played but Pop made the ultimate decision. Whether it would have been a good thing or not who knows, the Spurs won and that's all that matters. If Kawhi plays game 6, have Simmons on Harden to help ease the load off Kawhi.

    He's wearing regular shoes. No boot or wrap or anything. Just a tweaked ankle. They'll treat it and tape it up good.

    Anyone know what those wraps all over his knee/leg were though?

    He had them last game too. Then I thought it was a heating pad but not sure tonight.

    Wait, if it's only an ankle injury, why was he so mediocre up until that point?

    It's his opinion but he said he looked fine. He kept saying that Kawhi looked "gimpy, but not hurt". Basically, he said they'll ice it and he'll be ready by Friday.

    trusting his veteran expertise

    He injured his knee at some point as well but the ankle kept him out at the end.

    Ankle injury or no...our best player was choking the entire first half, and entire game 4. Was clippers 15, OKC 16 all over again. Fact.

    LMA isn't the best player...
