Mid november/early december if everything is ok. Both were injured before the season starts and have an 8 weeks ( Max) recovery.
Any idea when white or walker might come back

And there were reports that White likely wouldn't require the full recovery period. I'm hoping to hear he's ready to start practicing again soon which should be his warm up to return.
Cheers for the info guys.
what about heustis?
Heard they just got their cripple parking passes.

Wrong injuried spur
Anyways after the 4-6 week estimate was made for white, the next day pop said more like 2-4 weeks. Tomorrow makes it 3 weeks
I think white will get plugged in quick but walker will probably get little to no minutes
Walker no minutes? There's not exactly heavy compe ion for minutes off the bench. This isn't a typically-loaded Spurs squad.
I still don't get why people here keep saying Lonnie should go to Austin. Austin, the Spurs need Lonnie on the court in the NBA. They don't really have any good players ahead of him, so might as well just get Lonnie into the NBA as soon as possible to speed up his learning curve. Plus, he's likely to be a better defender than most of the players on the team, and that is something that the Spurs really, really need. He has way more defensive potential than most of the players on the team already. Why would they waste time making him spend time in Austin? If you want to send him there for a short rehab, OK, but other than that, there is no need for him to spend extended time in Austin at all in my opinion. This isn't the typically loaded Spurs team of the Big 3 + Kawhi & DG + Experienced vet squads of years past.
We need their athletic young legs. Beli and Mills are in their 30's..
Because of pop, he rarely plays young guys. Offcourse i want To see Walker Playing but i will be surprise if that happens a lot this year.
It wouldn't be fair to Pondexter and those guys, to play a rookie over them. They were in the league since the late 2000s. Walker is in the league for 1 month
I'm with you. This team has no bench depth to speak of, especially guys with length who could D up the opposing 2s and 3s out there on the perimeter. If Walker shows even glimpses of what I believe he is capable of I think the coaching staff is going to give him some run. Plus, Pop is high on him...I get some of that early Manu love for Walker from Pop, where Walker will get a little bit longer leash than some guys might.
The Spurs do not have the luxury for him to start seeing major minutes in his third year.
6-8 weeks from the time of their injury
D White is listed as probable for tomorrow.
Are you serious? That is great if true.
Interesting! Paul Garcia did tweet that Derrick White is Probable for tomorrow’s game, Gay and walker are out.
If not tomorrow, I was thinking Saturday. Gay being out sucks, but I can understand wanting to sneak a week of rest in with it only costing a game. Still needed to fill that two-way spot with a forward so they'd have some semblance of depth there.
Yeah, I think Gay being out for a week to rest his heel was circled on the calendar. Probably figured the Magic game was a gimme. Sadly nothing is a gimme with our shallow bench. It sucks that's bothering him with as much as he prepared for the season, and as healthy as he looked this summer.
Yes more than anything I hope it's not something that will stand in the way of the season we were all, especially him, hoping for.
White is probable for tonight!!!!
