Yup. More cranky old es
at least with Murray out, white should get time when he comes back

I would keep Walker out at least 4 months to make sure his other knee is not overly compensating and he tears that one. Take time with him really need to figure out his soft tissue issues he is a young guy maybe carrying to much muscle........?
So it's been repaired and not taken out? If so, I thought repairs take longer to get back from, or is 6-8 weeks the usual timeline?
Why are you obsessed with age and race? That's not healthy.
The angry old white guys obsessed with race are the only ones ing about Walker.
if jabari is saying 6-8 weeks i fully expect him to suit up by 2019 preseason
I am concerned about that too. He has so far seemed to have such brittle knees. He’s got to play and prove he can stay healthy at some point, but I don’t want him to rush rehab. There’s no point this season if the result is some other nag in the opposite leg.
Good point, Jabari and SA media in general aren’t the most reliable source. What’s tspence saying?
Rest will indeed help him. He's injured too often. At 19 years old, his body is still adjusting to all the changes. 4 months in ice will be good.
He should then spend time in Austin to et to know the system.
I don't want him back until maybe the post-season or next year.
Dude's hair is a work of art that makes him look 6'10" and has to be a distraction to his defender. What's not to like? Heck, if the Spurs bring in another guard, I want Elfrid Payton. All-hair backcourt.
Light work in Austin next spring, increasing slowly through the end of the G-league season.
Payton cut off that abomination he called a haircut.
Lonnie still going around lookin' like a tiki doll.
I am neither. Why are you so obsessed with age and race?
Then why can't you just let the dude play and cheer for him regardless of his political beliefs?
What are you and why are you ing about Walker like an old white guy?
Nice to hear that 6-8 weeks was actually a conservative diagnosis. And this seems to back up the idea that this injury was really just a complication from his last one that needed to get cleaned up. The media has been downplaying the extent of all three of these injuries, and they've all turned out worse than they thought. Hope this is an exception.
Yea, hopefully. Seems like it is from what note but guess we'll see.
In case anyone is wondering:
https://drrobertlaprademd.com/effect...lar-cartilage/Effects of a Partial Medial Meniscectomy
Arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy is the most common outpatient surgery in the United States. However, meniscus injury and subsequent resection contributes to a 7 times greater risk for developing knee osteoarthritis later in life. While it is generally believed that most patients have an uncomplicated recovery following an arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy, a close look at patients demonstrates that at least 1 out of 3 continue to have quadriceps strength deficits, subsequent overloading of the knee joint due to poor absorption from this muscle weakness, and decreased physical function which can last for months to years. Thus, quadriceps weakness can be one of the most modifiable risk factors to slow down the progression of arthritis after an arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy. A physical therapy regimen that is started immediately after surgery can better prevent and address persistent strength deficits and activity limitations following an arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy. It is important to decrease postoperative pain, work on immediate restoration of quadriceps voluntary activation, and restore joint motion. Through this, the potential to improve overall lower extremity and quadriceps strength and physical function would help to minimize the risk of knee arthritis progression. It is important to recognize that quadriceps weakness increases overall knee joint loading, and arthritic changes can initiate as early as 2 to 5 years after an arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. Thus, there is a critical early window to try to work on addressing muscle inhibition and restoring strength to the joint to slow down the progression of arthritis after a meniscectomy.
If the previous poster is correct that this is what Walker had done, it is short of scary. Could be done before the end of his rookie contract. It's completely up to how well the medical team and Walker work on preventing future injuries.
With regards to Walker specifically since he has already had complications in the knee he injured last year, and considering complications that can arise due to compensating for a still recently healing injury, plus his potential, it's definitely best to play it safe and easy.
Good to hear he may well feel fine sooner but they will be extra careful. The last thing they want is for him to blow out the other knee or reinjure the surgically repaired knee.
Found him!
Wow Chinook. Really scary stuff and you know what? He already had the injury a year ago so he has a high risk of developing osteoarthritis at a young age.
He looks like a very hard worker so I have no doubt he’s going to do whatever he can to strengthen the muscles in that leg. That still is just about reducing risk and improving odds as it were. I hope he doesn’t get the short end of the stick.

Need to fly his Ass to Panama and get some stem cell treatment on that knee!!! If I had his money that’s what I would do. Stem Cell Ins ute
1. PRP
2. PTM

Are you ever going to terms with your obsession over age and race? It's not healthy.
