Derrick White Injury Thread: Out First Game of Rodeo Road Trip (Update: Out First THREE Games)

[offset formation]

Yeah, have him defend the best wing on the other side. There's no way for him to learn without some exposure to good players.

Won't be a positive outcome, tbh.

[CGD]

Damn...

Here’s hoping Lonnie gets run.

Did White originally have Plantar Fascittis in his right foot or his left foot? I wonder if this is something that he has been battling all year.

[offset formation]

I wonder if this is going to be an ongoing problem for him in his career due to how he runs. Maybe puts too much strain on the ligaments due to constantly running up on his toes.

Left foot. Now the right.

This could be a physiological side effect to how he runs, which is starting to be shown due to the amount of use he's getting in the NBA and GLeague over the past couple years compared to his college days.

[MannyIsGod]

I don't believe its chronic the problem is that you need a long period of rest for it to fully go away. Duncan had it in 2005 but after that offseason I don't remember it being an issue at any other point in his career.

Still ing sucks though.

Wow that's crazy to have it in both feet.

[timtonymanu]

White arguably a top 2 player on our team right now and of course he gets injured yet the goddamn Dubs always remain healthy. the basketball gods.

[Robz4000]

There will be teams in the West who miss the playoffs with winning records, but lets put this statement in the context that all along the way Spurs fans have underestimated this team. They'll find a way to cope not having White for a few games. Anyone who feels the Spurs are in danger of missing the playoffs should let me know if they're willing to put their money where their mouth is because I'm sure we can come up with a bet I'll take.

If White is out as long as he was to start the season or longer I might need to take you up on that bet.

Plantar fasciitis strikes again.

Dejonte's first game started. Only injured guard was Parker.

Just stop.

Aldridge didn't play either. Learn how to read

[MannyIsGod]

out of 15 players on the roster 14 are healthy. For Walker to be starting at least 2 SGs would have to be injured and with Pop playing 2 SGs at SF I'd say it would probably have to be 4-5 to see Walker start. The injured player is the starting PG. Walker plays SG. So the conclusion is he will be parked on the bench and maybe play 4-6 minutes tonight. I hope that explanation helps you to understand it, because you obviously don't seem to be able to think that far

Didn't realize Aldridge was playing PG now.

Good point.

[diceman]

Hope Lonnie at least gets some good PT and experience during this vs leaning on Cunningham and Pondexter.

[DPG21920]

If they plan on DW being out an extended period of time I wonder if that increases the urgency to make a move. DeRozan can definitley pick up the “lead guard” duties like we’ve seen before, but man, perimeter defense and playmaking both take a hit.

[Gordy58]

Hopefully lonnie gets some minutes, we could really use his athleticism and shooting. Maybe this White injury really forces us to make a trade.

Can you explain a bit more about 'how he runs'?

The extra stress on the body of the NBA could be a problem that requires adjusting to.

Wasn't White injured several times last season also?

[BlackAndWhite]

Maybe we need to trade Derrick White. This guy's body is totally glass

Man that sucks. Been dealing with that myself and it's very frustrating.

The kid is much younger than me and has great resources at his disposal and still battles this on both feet.
I hope if there's anything wrong with his feet, running form or anything else they find it and correct it. He's been great this season.

[jbspurs]

Well, .

I just hope it's not a plantar fasciia to his other heel this time.

What a terrible way to start the RRT.

I hope so, that takes a while to heal. I had it before, very painful in the morning.

I paid over $300 for shoe insert from Goodfeet, Im glad it worked for me.

[Keepin' it real]

Better now than days before the Finals.

[timtonymanu]

Better now than days before the Finals.

He will be watching from his couch either way
