Absolutely. Even when Timmy was leaving the court and high fiving the OKC fans on his way out you just sensed that was it. He was playing so well up until his February injury last year too.
If it's a ruptured quadriceps tendon he's going to miss 6-8 months at least.

Sorry to hear about Parker, he is a great player.
DD
yep, tendons are very slow to heal, partial or total tear?, just ask anybody who has had a ruptured Achilles
Ok he's done this season...
How does this play out going forward?
It all depends what happens these playoffs
Either Patty earns a big pay check, Dejounte will be our starting PG going forward, or it's all in for CP3 if it's downhill from game 3 and onwards
Dont forget trading aldridge for a bag of burritos
Yup. Best to retire. I would like to see him recover, come back for a game where he gets put in for 1 minute and walks off into the sunset. This should not be the way he is remembered as going out.
kori called it
They made an appearance?
With TP out and no other playmaker besides Kawhi on the team.... mandatory Aldridge postups will increase
Yep. Makes me sick just thinking about it
I think I've made myself clear that we need to go ALL IN for CP3 regardless...
I expected Tony to be lead guard off bench next year with Murray taking over Simmons, Murray role..but this could really things up if Parker can't play until All-Star break next year smh
Full raptured quadricep can take a full season to fully recover. Nevermind he'd be out of shape by the time it heals.
Murray is starting nexr year.
I'd love to have CP3 but I'm not on board paying him the max amount. Too much potential downside as he gets older. And I don't think he's enough to put the Spurs over the top or even get them close to the Warriors. I hate to say it but I'd rather them stick this out with Murray. Hopefully Parker and Manu retire. That being said, it's painful to think of them wasting more of Leonard's prime years.
Murray needs to be part of the picture next year going forward but to the people who think he should or will be our starter are DEAD WRONG in that approach. Kawhi is entering his prime and yes the Warriors will be tough to compete with but the Spurs can't afford to "somewhat rebuild" when Kawhi isn't even under contract for more then 2 years
Quad injury is obviously "better" than a knee. Obviously out for the season and probably for a significant part of next but he will play again basketball... so yeah it sucks but could have been worst
Yeah, unfortunately it looks like I was right.
If its a ruptured quad, is it still career ending for him? I guess this means his speed is all but gone.
Mills and Ginobili giving him so much respect and mentioning "his presence" and his penchant for big time shots...
It's sad, plus it's so sudden and inopportune bc Tony was playing so well

Ruptured quad tendon is a knee injury and pretty severe, it's worse than torn ACL or MCL for example. The only positive is that it doesn't compromise the structure of the knee because it's at the top and would fully heal in time, a long time though. They'll prob drill holes in his patella to attach it back. Ouch.
Mike Conley?
In any event, TP is a proud athlete -- he'll likely play 2-3 more years as a mentor (not a starter). Even at that, he can likely have some nice moments in big games. I think TP loves this life too much to walk away without a fight.
