Pop: doesn't know when Kawhi will be back

[dbreiden83080]

He played through the injury that he sustained in March. Since it didn't heal over the Summer despite treatment they shut him down to try something different and that also isn't working. This was talked about in the Dubs/Spurs TNT broadcast.

So you got him taking a whole year off? You can't be serious?

When it's your franchise player who still has a lot of basketball ahead of him you do what it takes for him to fully heal, and the fact this has become a chronic problem is even more worrisome. It also helps the Spurs have no chance of winning a le this year unless one of Curry/Dominos/Donkey die.

He won't be back in 2017. Probably in January.

It would be very surprising if kawhi doesn't play this season. Especially since his sister has mentioned him coming back twice already. It's very unlikely her information is off by an entire season.

Never ceases to amaze me how many lack reading comprehension. Leonard's sister didn't mention him returning to play in a game sometime next week, she mentioned getting him back on the court. That will obviously be the first step of probably a multi week process to returning, which fits with the TNT report 6 days ago about him being 3 weeks away.

People did this with Mills' comments about not feeling pressure. Somehow, this was taken to mean he didn't care.

Man, I was going to mention Turmeric as I've just starting drinking it myself for the past couple of months. I usually mix it with purified warm water, black pepper (or just eat 2 or 3 whole black peppercorns) and sometimes lemon (depending on whether or not I have any). It seems pretty good so far. I try to stay away from almost anything pharmaceutical. I tried it because I saw/read that it was a natural anti-inflammatory. Seems to be good for me so far. Not sure how stuff like that would work with NBA level athletes, though, as their wear and tear I would assume is a lot higher than mine.

I would love to be updated as to how it works out for you as time goes by.

they were saying the 13th today on the radio. apparently kawhi's sister runs his fan page on instagram and made a post alluding to him returning very soon but it was deleted.

[Ginobili2Duncan]

I just saw an Instagram post saying that Kawhi is being shut down for the rest of this calendar year. Not sure if it's legit or not. But I wouldn't be surprised if that's the direction the team goes. The account name is top.ball.coverage

I will... take it for what it's worth.

A couple weeks ago she got me all excited saying he'd be back Fri. Dec 10th. I don't think Kawhi really knows. Sounds like it's a day to day thing.

Pop gonna snuff that out because...well, he's Pop. He wont be back for at least 3 weeks now.

[Keepin' it real]

In retrospect, ZaZa's goonish play against Kawhi might have been a blessing in disguise. Imagine Kawhi playing another 10-12 games on that quad on the way to his second Finals MVP??? Might have been a career-ender...
