Parker Medical Update

[boutons_]

I really doubt Tony will miss only the RRT.

He was already off a week or more this season, and that rest didn't fix his ankle.
I figure he's gone all of Feb, meaning the Spurs could have a real problem in Mar and Apr trying to make the playoffs.

After tonight, Spurs will be only 2 games ahead of 9th seed.

[tlongII]

You are happy. You have been dancing about it for the last week, trying to convince the world that he needs surgery.

I'm just posting the posts I'm supposed to post.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I don't think simple shots solve it. They probably just help relieve it. Only rest and time can probably solve it.

did someone say vaccinations?

[G-Nob]

Let us not worry about Tony's ankle, people. Lets worry more about the rest of the team playing some F'n perimeter defense.

[peskypesky]

is this just severe tendinitis?

[peskypesky]

Tendinitis is an inflammation of the tendon.Tendinitis of the ankle can involve the Achilles tendon, the posterior tibial tendon, or the peroneal tendon. This condition usually results from trauma, but can result from underlying inflammatory diseases or illnesses such as reactive arthritis (formerly called Reiter's syndrome), rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. All forms of tendinitis cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the tendon area involved. The onset may be rapid, such as with an athletic injury. Immediate treatment involves immobilizing the area, elevation, and limiting weight bearing, applying ice, and using nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to decrease inflammation. NSAIDs such as naproxen (Naprosyn) or ketoprofen (Orudis) are commonly used for this purpose. More severe inflammation can require orthopedic casting. Athletic participation should be limited when the tendon is still inflamed, as there is a significant risk of rupturing or tearing the tendon, especially in the Achilles area, with continued athletic activity.

thanks for the explanation... i have had tendinitis myself and it is a to get out of it unless you treat it the right way... i think the spurs medical staff should have shut down tony when the pain begun...

[pad300]

I hope Eva could take care of the boy, meaning stop making Kama Sutra

I'm thinking that your looking at this wrong. In how many of those positions is the man's ankle weight bearing? It's also good cardiovascular exercise so he keeps up his conditioning... I'm thinking go for it. Just remember to keep your dribble and shot in practice (from a chair).

[T Park]

Good to hear nothing else is worse.

[Budkin]

Good news! Rest up Tony!

[picnroll]

It's just wrong to blame French NT for what happens with Parker.

People to blame are Spurs' doctor and Parker. Parker said yesterday that he is in that situation because he hasn't sit enough in December after his injury.

BS

BS

Je m’étais blessé début décembre, ce qui m’avait obligé de louper quatre matchs. A mon avis, je suis revenu trop tôt. Il aurait fallu que je m’arrête un peu plus longtemps.

Translation :
"I was hurt in early December. I had to miss 4 games because of that. I think that I came back too fast. I should have stayed out a little more time"

[Obstructed_View]

Shutting Parker down until he's healthy is a great decision. I wouldn't rush him back if the Spurs lost the next 15. Some of the other guys need to learn how to contribute without him there anyway. If they can't do that, then the Spurs might as well be in the lottery. If they are healthy by the playoffs, they can win as the 8 seed.

[T Park]

Parker getting this ankle hurt in the summer oughtta make Pop put the goddamn foot down.

NO MORE INTERNATIONAL PLAY!!!

Not BS that Parker said that. BS that he should have played this summer. Parker was going to play whether it was good for him or not, before and after he got injured. He should have been shut down earlier by the Spurs as well. Got has to realize he's screwing with and jeoparidizing a career.

[Gino20]

Hey everyone! I need some clarification regarding this issue. So, does it mean that Parker don't have any bone spurs since there is no structural damage wrong and simply chronic inflammation? Or, are the bone spurs not a big deal anymore??? I don't understand really whats wrong with him. Thanks in advance!

[ducks]

I bet spurs are telling tp to stay home and not travel with team

[boutons_]

"the bone spurs not a big deal anymore?"

I haven't seen any official word that he has a bone spur, which is not a problem until it impacts tissue and causes inflammation.

The Spurs' Big Three is down a man yet again.

"San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich has decided to sit Tony Parker indefinitely, against the point guard's wishes, because of a bone spur in the star's left heel."

This is from ESPN...This is what they were saying before the MRI.

[BonnerDynasty]

He's probably still clubbin' with Eva every night...

[timmy21_4rings]

i am confused..I am not an expert on these. Can't they do it before (at the initial stage)? We are talking about MRI..

[timvp]

No.
When Parker goes to SA in early August, one week after his injury, Spurs' doctor told Parker that he could play again. They give him no timetable for a return and no treatment to do.
How the you could blame French medical staff to have done a mistake while he was cleared by Spurs' medical staff ?

The French doctors didn't even think the injury was serious enough for Parker to be checked on by the Spurs. And with their threat to never use NBA players again if Parker didn't play, it was no surprise that Parker would be going back ... with or without approval from Spurs.

Parker sit out half of the training camp because wanted to put him in the weight room and want to give some rest before the season.

So you don't think he sat out for anything related to his ankle? That was the whole point. NBA players don't skip training camp and preseason to lift weights. Especially young NBA players.

It's not like spraining an ankle is the most common basketball related injury.
It's not like Parker played well with Spurs and French NT after his first injury.

Even if the second injury is a consequence of the first one, blame Spurs' doctor who have cleared him in August.

So you want to blame the Spurs doctors but hold the French doctors 100% innocent even though the French doctors said the injury was so minor that Parker didn't even need to be re-examined?

[hater]

even injured tony keeps taking shots

[Chucho]

o Micheal Beasley!

Pfft... are we forgetting how many truly bad teams are out there?? o Seattle, L.A, Milwaukee, Miami, Indy, Minny, Charlotte, Memphis, Philly, the ever stinky Knicks, Atlanta and the bust of the year; Chicago. Plus New Jersey will suck more once Kidd is gone and Sacto aint finishing with a better record than us, so we'd have to stink it up HUGE to jump past half the league to get good enough Lottery chances. C'mon some people here need to get there heads out of the clouds. We have ZERO chance of getting a top ten pick. ZERO. We'll be picking in the 17-27 range and that's a huge IF, if we keep playing .500 ball. Let's just bank on another useless 23-28 pick.

On topic, it's good news about Tony. Get him rested up and back on the court ASAP!!
