    I would think this is far more dramatic because KL health has suddenly become a major concern. Tim’s health was never a major concern.
    Tim's health was a major concern in 2000, after his knee injury and Pop sitting him for the playoffs. He needed surgery...Spurs and Dr. David Schmidt the best orthopedic surgeon in San Antonio were unsure about his full recovery.

    Against all odds, he played another 16 years after that surgery, winning multiple rings.

    Kawhi's injury is a minor injury compare to Tim's in 2000.

    But of course...Thinking about the worst possible outcomes is the easiest way.

    I also wonder if this is a bit of gamesmanship from Kawhis camp with regards to Super Max deal. They may be hearing that with injuries to Kawhi that SA might not want to go there. This could be their way of putting that pressure on them publicly.
    I doubt this is about his next contract. If were April who knows but not now.

    A guy "with a personality that does not have any other interest other than B-BALL" shoud be very frustrated if the medical staff of his team didn't manage his injury well

    It's pretty obvious if a player got a 2nd option and tried to find his own doctors is because he didn't trust his team's doctors completely.

    That's why RC felt the need to say "And it's been difficult for our staff. Historically we've been able to successfully manage injuries".

    Otherwise, he wouldn't mention this.

    Kawhi isn't an alpha???? You guys are ing idiots... No wonder his camp wants him to leave... With the they read on here... Smfh
    Kawhi is our best athlete/basketball player but he is not a leader, an alpha. He can perform well in any offensive scheme. But he is best suited for executing plays directed by a strong PG such as Chris Paul, and the team was better when He got his points in the flow of the offense. Plus he is such a sphinx that it is difficult to see Kawhi having a big impact in the locker room.

    He said that before he got a 2nd opinion and hired his own doctor/rehab staff. Also, Kawhi will never throw Spurs staff under the buss in public.

    Kawhi had a quad contusion in February last season. Spurs medical staff thought it wasn’t serious, just sat him one game, the first game of the Rodeo Road trip as precaution.

    He played the rest of the season & playoffs with that issue. Spurs doctors told Pop they didn’t find any structural damage in his quad. Then Kawhi trained hard all summer instead of getting the correct treatment..

    Anyway, Kawhi won't leave SA. He just needs to start trusting them again after their summer mistake.
    Wow this is really interesting. Where did you read this?

    Although I question this because he said it wasn't from last year in the same interview where he implies he got a second opinion. So it doesn't really add up.

    Wow, you're delusional ... and contradictory. You assert he's an alpha but wants to leave due to mean comments on here ... As if he or his "camp" would give a what a bunch of anonymous trolls have to say.

    Come on, man. He ain't Kevin Durant.

    Pop called Kawhi the future face of the franchise years ago and every off season Kawhi did his part and came back a better player then the season prior. The spurs front office has regressed imo.
    Damn don’t hit’em like that

    Grant Hill?? Did u watch basketball back then? Tim was gonna be playing with T-Mac
    Hill agreed to go to Orlando almost immediately, so Tim would have gone to Orlando to play with him, not McGrady.

    Brothers.... During that time grant hill wasn't the attraction... He was already considered injury prone and on the downside of his career... T-Mac was the big draw
    You remember wrong. He was considered a sure fire hall of famer in his prime and that ankle was the first serious injury he ever dealt with. Dude was only 27 years old at the time. TMac was considered the great consolation prize if Orlando couldn't land Duncan.

    I heard it on the same podcasts people posted here and some radios online

    Although I question this because he said it wasn't from last year in the same interview where he implies he got a second opinion. So it doesn't really add up.
    I watched the same interview on Tw. I guess that was Kawhi not throwing them under the buss...If he would have said the injury was from last season everyone on media would question Spurs medical staff at that moment.

    In 2015 about his hand..."One of the doctors said it's the first time he's ever seen an injury like this" In 2018 about his quad..."They've never seen an injury like this"

    If they didn't know what it was they could misdeagnose it. Even Pop admitted the doctors had to change the treatment after the first weeks of Spurs training camp.

    Kawhi could feel frustrated after getting the same "have never seen it" response from Spurs doctors.

    But again, it's not an irreconcilable issue.

    Bro...u are calculating kawhis rookie year where he wasn't a high lottery pick... Of course he wasn't gonna play all games under Pop... Also back then pop wasn't into resting players... A significant portion of kawhis missed games was pop intentionally sitting him even with no injuries
    Actually Kawhi played 64 out of 66 games during his rookie year. His rookie year was the lockout season. If I take out his rookie year then the percentage of games he has missed is even higher.

    Ok, cool. I have read every (legit) article I could find but haven't listened to podcasts. Thanks for sharing.

    I am with you on that. Obviously, there is something going on, otherwise there wouldn't be all these reports. I do not think it is all doom and gloom as a lot do here. I am not too worried about Kawhi and the Spurs for 2 reasons. First reason is, if there is some kind of discord or whatever, I have faith that Pop and the Spurs will do WHATEVER it takes to make things right. And the second reason I am not too worried is, in the end, money talks. The Spurs are the only team that can offer him the super max. He would have to really be at odds with the Spurs to not take a super max if offered to him. And likewise, the Spurs would really have to be worried about his health to not offer the super max. I am confident that Kawhi will still be a Spur past the 2021 season.

    You made it sound like he wasn’t even on the team. You need to be clearer when you post dude.

    Pop's rests LA last game and now they play like . I just don't see how resting helps. Pop has no clue about rhythm or continuity.

    No idea if this guy is a quack or onto something. But hey John Goodman trying to save Kawhi's season is as good as more speculation. He gets to Kawhi a little after the two minute mark



    That said, can't imagine it is anything this simple and the Spurs docs or Kawhi's private physicians didn't think of this.

    Some chiropractor's are quacks. Seen them cause a lot of damage to patient's, sometimes fatal ...
