Tim Duncan Injury Update Thread

[Dirk Nowitzki]

NOW Im ing pissed! I HATE INJURIES! You better be okay Duncan. YOU BETTER BE ING OK!

[Supergirl]

Sean Elliott said that the knee is stable. They are calling it an ankle sprain and a knee contustion right now. We'll see after the MRIs are done.

Oh man I hope he's right.

[anjlbitz]

Duncan will be okay. This team is still good enough to win games. Duncan just needs to rest and not rush back. In fact he should come back after 12/17.

Horry ready for 12/17?

[djohn14]

The thing is...Duncan's sprained ankles have tended to be a real lingering .

Are you necessary?

[duncan228]

Horry in.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

He shouldn't come back untill Feb, that ankle is going to be problem, he won't have any explosiveness if he doesn't come back 100%

The Spurs franchise player needs an MRI on his knee. You don't think it's thread worthy?

[slayermin]

Damn, time for a drink.

[polandprzem]

Schoening: All ligaments appear stable, x-rays negative, MRI Monday.

Depends how bad the sprain is, sometimes that hurts like a at first and then after a good night's rest it feels much better. I admit i was getting into the Spurs great start record wise, but if Timmy needs say a month off, fine by me.

[Kori Ellis]

I'm not that worried about his ankle. I just hope nothing is wrong with his knee.

I doubt he'll need that much time. Though I agree with the idea he should take what he needs.

[itzsoweezee]

time for small ball?

if duncan's going to be out, i hope pop plays a starting lineup of oberto, ginobili/barry, finley, parker, and bowen rather than putting bonner or horry in there.

I think he just doesn't want anyone blaming the injury for a loss on Wednesday.

Or maybe he's a lot classier than I give him credit for, in which case, accept my pre-emptive apologies.

This was scary to watch.
For the moment, it seems that it isn't a serious injury but let's wait for the MRI tomorrow.

[remingtonbo2001]

Hmmm....Interesting. I just Jammed my knee inwards on Thanksgiving playing football. I remember that queezy feeling that usually follows after something breaks (similar feeling when I broke my wrist). 2 days later it was fine!
It really depends. He probably just tweaked it hard.

JUST IN: RIGHT KNEE CONTUSION

TIM IS FINE

[Das Texan]

Let that MRI come back with a good result and I'll breathe a sigh of relief.

I can live with Timmy taking a 2 week vacation in December.

[whottt]

Damn I just saw the replay....ouch.

Sounds like the ankle took the main hit here when he twisted it. They said it was a knee contusion, as if he just banged his knee. If the Knee was hurt because he twisted it, i would be very worried about a tear. That does not appear to be the case.
