Manu Injury vs. T'Wolves Thread

[timtonymanu]

. Spurs aren't even a lock for the playoffs.

There's no 2nd option on the team at this point. Parker has the ability to be that guy, but he's playing bad so far. You could try Timmy, but that means running him to the ground and entering the playoffs with a broken-down Timmy. RJ is just a loser, but maybe he can wake up a little bit.

horrible news for spurs fans manu out indef time for ja to step up and we need neal back asap

[Beanzamillion21]

The return of Glassobili.

His injury is also known as a boxers fracture, I read up on this injury a few weeks ago because one of my favorite boxers got this exact injury.

From what I've read this is a pretty bad injury as many people have said their hand is never the same and they occasionally feel pain even after its fully healed. Manu won't be back until 1 1/2 months. Also heard that it is very easy to re-injure it.

a 5th metacarpal fracture doesn't equal a boxer's fracture. A boxer's fracture is a fracture at the distal metaphysics with most often ventral angulation. Hopefully no intra-articular extension.

This could be a mid-diaphyseal fracture, or some other kind of fracture. Can't know without seeing the radiograph or more details.

I guess it depends on the orthopedist if he is to let him heal on his own, if the alignment is good enough. Or to do an open reduction internal fixation of the fracture.

Either way, I think he's out for a good bit of time.

Shooting hand injuries, no matter how serious, are never good. Suck.

[urunobili]

better now that on the end of the season TBH...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

As much as I like Manu I think its time not to rely on him anymore considering he always gets hurt. The old saying the minds is willing but the body isn't applies to Manu. Spurs should just trade him during the summertime.

Get Ready for a whole lot of Danny Green...

Looks like manu needed more moo-topia tbh

lol

[TMTTRIO]

and if we trade Manu what are you going to get for him? Nobody's going to trade for a broken down player unless you want a scrub.

HEB mewtopia milk.

[Russo21]

It's all good.

Neal, Anderson, Green and Leonard all have their time to shine and grow by the time the playoffs roll around. More PT for the youngsters.

This could be the wake up call Richard Jefferson needs and he could become a focal point on offense like we thought he would be a few years back bringing back the 20ppg RJ.

Ginobili should be healthy and totally fresh and rested by the time the playoffs arrive, he would have fresher legs then anyone in the whole NBA.

Better now then the last game of the season like last year.

Let's look on the bright side of this guys. Manu will be back.

FTFY.

He was killing it before the injury. I wouldn't say he's "broken down".

You need to learn how to Google better.

Solid Dr?

Google isn't a verb.

This is great for the lottery next year but Manu was the player that made the Spurs watchable...second half was mostly boring.

Do you work at the Brown Hand Center?

[Russo21]

Do we tank the season and get a lottery pick? Or ride the storm, make the playoffs and see how we go?

We all know David Robinson and Pop conspired his injury allowing us to snag Tim Duncan at number 1 in the draft though they'll never admit it

[howbouthemspurs]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmnnnniiiitt!!!!!

[ElNono]

well, the flip side is he'll get some rest
