Aldridge will be fine, and we need both of them if the Spurs hope to go anywhere this year. Don't see the point at taking shots at the guy who has kept us afloat all season.

You really have to wonder after Kawhi's state of mind at this point. He should be back physically (like he wouldn't have been doing those drills if he wasn't) so now it's mental. I doubt he's going to come back as an alpha if he's still battling demons.
Zaza. Dude needs to take a very short ride with JR Smith in the worse way.
So has it now pushed back.
And, Chinook, do you think it started with that Zaza play? You don't think he'd be in the same place right now if it wasn't for the Zaza injury? From what Kawhi said in that short interview, it sounds like it's an overuse injury, and the Spurs medical crew and doctors may not have done a great job with the rehab, or on telling him what he should be doing in the off-season to not worsen it. Do you simply think it's completely on Kawhi's side mentally?
StupidLeonard finally wiping his own ass
He’ll be back against Dallas. Not PHX.
Gonna miss 27 games already not counting the coming scheduled rest/babying-- that is basically over 1/3 of basketball season lost due to a health issue that didn't require a surgical intervention..
Love Kawhi but availability is a skill and my man has been found lacking throughout his career..Just a lot of games missed for someone so young, and who who has never dealt with a serious injury so far..
He’s on level with Anthony Davis in regards to games played per season
I don't see a lie in this post at all.
He probably won't play in Houston. (Assuming he returns Tuesday) I doubt he does b2b's now, and it's either at Houston or their home game the next night vs Dallas.
Wanted him there for the Rockettes game
Anthony Davis actually averages more games played per season.He’s on level with Anthony Davis in regards to games played per season
Just can't sweep this reality under the rug anymore, tbh..It is starting to stick like a sore thumb..Some -- or few of them-- in his body gonna act up and he will find a way to miss a somewhere in the range of 12-15 games every year even though it is not a serious injury..Anthony Davis actually averages more games played per season.
Part of being a superstar is the ability to play 78-82 games with a heavy workload, and Kawhi hasn't been able to check this box so far in his career..
Kawhi has played 72 and 74 games the last 2 years respectively. He was trending upwards, and factor in a couple of those being rest, and it's no big deal really.
This quad thing seemed to really be an anomaly, and assuming he fully heals from it, no reason he shouldn't be at 74-76 games moving forward, barring any other injuries
This is shockingAnthony Davis actually averages more games played per season.
The forthcoming micromanaging will be a tad annoying.
You can't assume anything at this point. For all we know, it may be chronic.
The Spurs have announced Kawhi, Anderson, Parker (injury return management), Pau (rest), and Manu (rest) are all out for tonight’s game at Phoenix.
Danny Green (tightness, left groin) is questionable.
I cant imagine they playing green
Wonder if firbes starting
A fact is a fact..
AD has the injury-prone rep around the league and Kawhi doesn't because Davis mostly pick them up on-court and mid games...Kawhi will get it soon if this trend continues ..
I guess this hasn't gotten much air because the Spurs have kept on winning games based on their depth (credit to the players, Lamarcus, and everyone who contributes) and their system, it has to be said... Pop with his management of the roster in general has to get credit too.
But I will say then, backup SF is a really important spot for this team. They must keep one of Rudy or Kyle at all costs.
This games per season stat for Kawhi and Davis is misleading because it includes Kawhi's 2011 season, which was shorter and he played in 64 of 66 games. Davis was drafted the next summer. Also, it doesn't include rest games.

The numbers speak for the themselves.
Kawh is just as fragile as Davis and nobody is paying attention or wants to admit it ...
He forgot the postseason, where Kawhi hasn’t missed games until last year (no fault on him for that). Meanwhile, Davis has played a total of four games where he statpadded his way to a sweep.
The playoffs are literally all that matters given the team is a shoe-in for a top seed, and last year was the first instance of Kawhi being sidelined. I’m sure if Davis had been a threat to GS they would have found someone to Zaza him.
On Kawhi’s games missed, the only recurring issue has been his hand which seems fine now. Pink eye and a concussion aren’t his fault. Neither was the ankle reinjury. The quad was something precautionary that didn’t heal properly last year. Curry has missed games, Durant has missed games, Kobe missed games, Shaq missed games, etc. Only superhuman Lebron doesn’t, except for when he takes midseason vacationsx
