I noticed Rudy with his foot in a walking boot in the bench.
You're not going to get a big whose skills mesh so well with LMA and also has the willingness to sacrifice his own numbers for the good of the team short of Pau's brother, and he's not a realistic trade option. Newsflash: Pau has been the team's second best player all year. And his weakness against the Rockets, while true, is somewhat exaggerated. Once Pop figured out how to use him, Pau was pretty useful against defending Harden in the final 2 games.

I saw that.Looks like he's going to be out for a while..Spurs will be overcautious with him, so a return after the All-Star break can't be ruled out..
I thought the same not necessarily until the ASB, but definitely longer than the reported 2 week mark. The 2 weeks were to get evaluated again. The healing may take longer. He also had the ankle pain through the season b4 being out so it can recurr and it’s better to let that fully heal.
The latest update still has him at least a couple of weeks out from returning to play.

Rudy could be a valuable piece of Kawhi ends up missing the rest of the season.
Any news on his progress?
Most likely back in a week or so.
there is no value to this season if kawhi is out
So is it the opposite heel of the one he tore last year?
Yes, he tore his left Achilles. The bursitis is in his right heel.
Thanks for posting. Unsurprising, but later than I thought.
Rudy Gays Supposed Return Date
FRIDAY FEB 23 PEPSI CENTER, DENVER, CO 8:00PMCT
... good lord
Rudy has been a big part of our worst nightmare: Kawhi goes out for 5/8 of the season (and counting) AND our key off-season gamble of an acquisition is shelved for a lengthy, overlapping period. Btw, the odds that Rudy opts in increase with each passing game.
He'll opt out so SA can give him a $20M/2 deal with a third year partially guaranteed.
Loyalty.
Seems about right.
That Pau leadership
Spurs are just taking this too far IMO. If he's 100% before the All-Star break, then there is no need to keep sitting him. If he's not 100% right now, fine, but if he does get there before then, you need to freaking play him and stop sitting out players longer than they need it.http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/spurs/article/Sources-Rudy-Gay-expected-to-return-after-12530704.php
Though unlikely, league sources added there is a chance Gay could return earlier than expected as he is healthy enough to play, but the Spurs appear set on sticking with the timetable of Gay's return post All-Star, wanting him at 100 percent with no further setbacks.
It's bursitis, not an ankle sprain. You don't with bursitis, because it will come back if it's stressed at all. It's not a matter about being healthy "enough". You either have it or you don't and if you do have it, you don't play. I'm with PATFO there. That MySA article seems irresponsible.
Yeah, this Gay deal about to go from a bargain to a sunk cost with signs of him turning into damaged goods..His lower extremities don't seem like they will hold up.
The Spurs are an Aldridge accelerating heartbeat away from an absolute worst case scenario playing out. My reservations on the roster aside, it can't be denied that the health Gods are on the verge of nuking this entire season. Doesn't seem likely we will see them as whole..

Does anyone really think Rudy will finish the season on the active list?
