Pop: Kawhi Has Partial Tear in his Shoulder

[SPURt]

[Bill_Brasky]

Apparently 2 injuries = china doll

[tonight...you]

We're gonna have to shut down bat got doing these GTs. Bad luck all year.

Not quite on @Amusedwhateversleeper's level, but something that deserves some eyeballs upon.
This could be phenomena...
Let's be fair here.

So, what is the timetable for his return?

[BatManu20]

Wait, what?

[cd98]

It's too late for that. The record of the team is too good to tank. They would have to go on a 20-30 game losing streak to have a chance at a top 5 pick.

Start Lauvergne.

[SAGirl]

this. Kobe would've played.

I am not proposing he plays injured but...
didn't Manu play in the 2014 finals with a stress fracture or something in one leg?
Mills played with a separated shoulder or some (I can't remember what his injury was). He needed surgery in the offseason which is why he got a ty contract (that the Spurs eventually made him whole for apparently)... and why he had a very ty season the following year (2015).

Anyways, I have no idea how he for real suffered a partial tear in one shoulder. Guys were getting decapitated in that game and played 41 minutes.

Meanwhile how did all det resting work for ya Pop?

in most overrated basketball shtick in today's NBA..You're either inury-prone or not..

[SPURt]

Better his left than his right

[Robz4000]

Like has been said, Spurs weren't gonna win anything this season anyway. Just start looking towards next season.

Doesn't matter, he'll just get injured again after his 3rd game back.

[Silver&Black]

Poor guy can't even wipe his ass.

So, all the Jim Jones Kool-aid drinking in this thread was for nothing. Good news.

Another important questions here is: What exactly is partially torn in his shoulder? Is it a muscle? His labrum? Ligament? Those details are important as the healing timelines vary. Grade 1 vs Grade 2? Important details that we don't know.

Sounds like they don't think it's serious though, according to Mike's tweet, which means it's likely just a small muscle tear.

Wtheactual ... oh boy

These injuries have happened all season. Bat got been making all the GTs. Slam dunk if you ask me.

...

He got sold on some KGB Pop or something... sending out mixed signals to sell tickets or something.

Ohh that doesn't matter.
This board will make something up and blame the injury on rest.
We got MDs and Exercise Physiologists with PHDs.

A partial tear could be nothing to worry about. A strain could be healed within a few days even sometimes. The fact that the team doesn't think it's serious is a good thing, wouldn't be surprised if he's back on the court within a week or 2

You got that right

Bunch of know it all who really don't know much regarding these things

Kawhi is too muscular. Dude was 5.9% Fat Percentage at 230 lbs. Probably 240-245 now. Needs to be 220 ideally. It would be ing tough for him to cut weight.

He's on the road with them and Pop hasn't ruled out him playing during this 3 game road trip. Could be a lot of freaking out for nothing

Good thing Pop plays him limited minutes so he won't get hurt.
