Not really surprising though. His injury had some pretty big implications when it was announced: 1) didn't allow him to practice shooting for 6 months and 2) it has probably altered his mechanics (whether due to physical limitations or just mental issues). It would be pretty astounding if he suddenly regained his shot at this point. He'll probably need a summer or so of being able to work on it to find his touch and get it the muscle memory down. Its not like he was always a great a shooter as last season, and the injury has certainly set him back in that regard. Sadly that doesn't bode particularly well for the Spurs come playoff time, but it is what it is at this point.
