Dejounte Murray Injury Thread

[gambit1990]

i wonder what kawhi trade offers the spurs turned down because they didn't wanna include murray.

[J_Paco]

But not quite as good as you are at being a front office apologist.

Yeah, the front office that has 5 championships, 4 first ballot HOFers and a immaculate reputation. I'll take their judgement and decisions - regardless of result - over any "realist" fan.

I am hoping it’s a knee sprain kind of like the one Kyle suffered last season. His injury was also on a drive to the basket, his knee got some pressure sideways from a guy (incidentally the Huestis that’s now in China), he fell with significant pain and it looked really ugly. He got up and walked with some assistance but it was an mcl grade 1 sprain. He was back within 2 1/2 weeks and was fine the rest of the season having missed just 9 games. I am hoping Murray’s thing is similar... fingers crossed

If Murray is out for an extended period then they should just go full rebuild. Trade Derozan and LMA for young talent and draft picks. Take on deals to improve the offer if they have to (no serious FA is gonna sign here anyways) and focus on the future. A top 5 pick, + Murray, Walker, is a nice base plus whatever they can get for Derozan and LMA. That is what I wanted the Spurs to do before the Derozan deal but hopefully they'll come to their sense instead of trying to go for a lower seed playoff run and early exit.

You know they are going to go for the lower seed and early exit if they can...

That being said, I have a good feeling about it in the sense that I think it’s just a sprain and he will be back soon. Nostradamus this one tho.

Hope you’re right.

I was just about to post about that.. feels like we could use a break, hopefully this isn't as bad as it looks.

The amount of cr*zy, ret*rded Spurs "fans" here are funny. 😁 I subscribed here for the laught but sometimes, it's just sad to think that they are also Spurs fans too.

[kobyz]

All these posts about the medical staff are hilarious. You guys are looking for a team of Nostrodamuses. Are you expecting a doctor to look at Murray or Walker and say, "You're knee is ok right now, but it will tear on a non contact play at 6:38 in the 3rd quarter?"

It's an injury of a player being in too much stress, i except a modern medical stuff to find when a player is in too much stress that expose him to injury and react accordingly...

[valleybeyond]

Yup, the other day I twisted my ankle stepping on a cracked sidewalk. My first thought was, "Damn Spurs medical/training staff."

lol- see previous posts/back and forth about perception vs legitimacy of blame. are they to blame? absolutely not. will murray and walker's progress from these injuries come under close observation from potential FAs/talent (in the aftermath of nephew's antics followed by green's claims)? i certainly think so.

regardless, on watching the replay, at least there wasn't any direct lateral contact to the knee- offers some hope its not one of the terrible triad

Not look the same at all, in dejonte case you can see the knee just gave up on him, it's a season ending for sure!

This sucks

Memphis be calling your name, amirite?

None of your business fam...

You'd seriously suck as a GM.

Jesus, how does a guy get a national beat position with grammar like that. Makes me want to tear my eyeballs out.

You make it my bidness by proudly pros uting yourself to other teams than making out like you didn't say it.

I hope you're right and Murray is ok. It didn't look good but like posted Kyle's injury looked similar.

You have turned into such a stalker gestapo dude.

The season is already over we all just need to go cheer for toronto and our beloved kawhi this year, not to hold any grudge and accept he did the right decision to leave this ed up place...

I believe the Celtics cleaned house after Thomas was misdiagnosed. They didn't get a Green misdiagnosis, a Walker torn meniscus and a Murray to be determined.

Similar to Parker's, I know it was a freak accident, but at some point the bill has to come due for this medical staff. I don't care about their long term track record or how highly regarded they are.

Before the apologists respond, I'm not necessarily blaming them. I'm just saying, this is generally how it works. The cliché, it's a results oriented business, applies to more than just your win-loss record.

Wtf ARE you trying to say?

Murray gets injured and you are not necessarily blaming the staff.
But you use the injury to take a shot.

Pitiful take.

[ulosturedge]

Walking out on your own power means nothing. If it popped, it's gone. Even if it's partially torn it's done. You will just finish it off the next chance you get lol. And no you can't play with torn acl's. You can run straight lines, but if you are trying to make cuts you are ed. You'll start damaging the cartilage on the sides of your knee, and put stress on other ligaments in your knee. If that knee came out away from the leg too far it's sayonara.

Good news is we guard heavy, bad news is most our guards suck. Never a bigger time for Patty Mills to step up.

The only thing Mills is stepping up to is the buffet line.

[Mikeanaro]

You'd seriously suck as a GM.

Seriously, Derozan and LMA sell tickets and are not TOSB, what the is he thinking?
