He chose to play through it. Probably because he wanted to prove something.

Don't click on the thread. Problem solved.
Kawhi loved playing on the Spurs, we just didn’t have cameras on him 24/7 to capture the occasional laugh or smile
I think there is a chance he stays there based on two reasons
1. I think to some extent he (or his group/entourage/Uncle) has boxed themselves in a corner. As Venetian navigator has said above the Spurs have an excellent reputation for managing injuries taking care of players etc and so I suspect teams are a little wary of signing him long term.
2. Market size. I think he (or his group/entourage/Uncle) may realize he is now in a big market

Would appreciate where you got your market size info. Very curious about that subject.
Exactly.
Scroll.
YGWHI is probably the forum's biggest Kawhi ball washer, and he said he looks done after the first TOR game. If there is something permanently wrong, then his group is doubly stupid. No one will pay him big next summer. He'll be sorting through MLE offers, at best.
The Spurs would have paid him for another contract, and put him back into a role like 2014, where he wasn't the focus and expected to carry the team. They take care of their own, financially, on the back end. They always have.
San Antonio Spurs are actually 22 when you add the undo ented immigrants.

Toronto is a little bit of an estimate- However the metro area is 6+ Million and if you use the extended "golden Horseshoe" you are close to 10 Million.
Very sad with that list. Once the Spurs became a consistent non-playoff or lottery team, I can see them moving to another city or franchise.
This.
We didn’t have to promote him “looking to be happy”.
None of this matters until the Raptors have success..
Man this had me losing it anime villains doing the Kawhi laugh. And I actually find the laugh kind of comically endearing. Not sure how to properly embed a FB link.

Market size is overrated. Show me all those Lowry and DeRozen endorsements, not to mention all those failed playoff appearances and then compare it to players like Durant and Westbrook from when they both played for the small market Thunder. The player can play for whomever he wants and still make tons of money in endorsements. He just has to be marketable and Leonard is just the opposite, a recluse with a controlling uncle that has already costed him Millions of dollars.
He's not staying in Toronto after this season even if LA burned to the ground. A couple of fake, choreographed smiles in front of a camera isn't going to change that.

Good point.
Kawhi to me just looks rusty. I really hope he is washed up but we'll see. Guys really don't go hard in the preseason but we'll know in the first 10-20 games if he's washed up.

Watching the game. I might be forced to root for Raptors if Patty starts for Sperms
Kawhi looks fully healthy although rusty but playing well. Definitely gonna be an allstar this year
well, he's one of the three best players in the world regardless of being a
Truth bomb tbh
Also @ Danny G-League benched already
Zero assists
... might piss off Lowrey!
He looks pretty bad. Not gonna lie.
Kawhis usage is High. They need Lowry to become more of a decisive scorer.
At this rate, lowry is barely going to crack 15ppg and they probavly need him to average 18-21ppg to have a chance against the celtics.
Kawhi is playing like a superstar.
Must suck for spursfans.
At least It does seem like getting rid of Danny Green was Ok.
He looks done. Maybe his job at this point is to make kawhi comfortable.
