Injury Report for 1/11/18 at Los Angeles

I freaking knew he wouldn't play. I don't care about talking about Kawhi at this point. He's ing soft.

Won't go there yet, but it is safe that we won't ever see this guy average 32 pts/12 rebs in 41 MPG in a playoffs series while playing with plantar fasciitis in his feet like Tim did in that Mavericks series..I mean he couldn't even play the last few minutes of G5 vs Rockets while the adrenaline was on....

Didn't Patty Mills win a ring for us (hitting 3 after 3) with a complete torn labrum? Wtf

And Manu played with a stress fracture in his right leg the very same Championship run..All evidence is pointing to Kawhi inability to play through injury like them and be effective. I'll give him some slack though because we are in January..

I wonder if we will ever get to see Kawhi play back to back games this year.

He talked about his injury this week. It seemed that he regrets playing injured in 2014.

I guess he feels that aggravating his shoulder injury affected him as player and shooter now.

“From my experience it’s one of those things that if I would have known beforehand the type of severity that it was going to cause me, I (would have allowed it to heal properly),” Mills said. “(The best thing) is to rest and let it heal the right way, definitely don’t rush back because it gets worse and worse over time."

“It is a bummer, but that’s how you’ve got to deal with it otherwise it turns into a longer period (out).”

Spurs obviously think Leonard will be okay.. Still hoping he can get it going this year. There is still plenty of time..

But how much of it is Pop and his management of minutes and injuries? This is something Pop was not obsessed with in Tim's prime. He became more and more obsessed with it as Tim and the Big 3 got older. When Timmy was 26 he was playing 40 MPG, KL only played 33 last year.. I am not about to put this all on KL, when Pop is so careful about minutes and even minor injuries..

BS. He would do it all over again to get that ring. After his career is over he will definitely say it was worth it to get that ring. At this point he would be rich either way

To be fair, Kawhi has had a littany of minor injuries, as well as this quad issue since 2014. So perhaps he needed some babying and really has been a China doll
