Mahinmi's injury update

[Yorae]

He is john the baptist.

You can tell he has been soft and indecisive out there on the court in his years of development. I was hoping he was growing out of that and maybe he has somewhat. But now with all these injuries it's one more detrement to Ian and his potential.

First he needs to recover fully from his injuries. Hopefully his injuries was just a series of really bad luck. The next thing is the dude needs to play with a purpose. He needs to impose himself out there on the court. He needs to get pissed off. He needs to go out there to try to prove something.

I just don't know if Ian can ever get to that level. Or if he could even be that type of person. He needs to get a chip on his shoulder lol. Show me some fire.

Too bad it seems like a long way from even finding out...

Looking at how bad the ankle was, Im becoming more assured to believe he might got little chance to improve. i know he is young,but he got nothing but trouble everytime he spent training time in NBA. i mean when he was sent to Austin, he blowed us out with his performance and then when it was time to get to NBA he always injured,from muscle tear,ankle sprain..and another sprain..and looking at report he even said there was still blood on his ankle and nobody knows why?? I think Spurs should think other alternatives or put him in any trade package if Spurs want to trade in the future

Spurs are maybe the NAB team with the less coverage and Mahinmi is an end of the bench unknown guy.I won't be surprised that he has still seen the doctor in LA and that there is no report about that.

The only case, when you will have for sure a report is if he has a surgery. So don't be upset to have no news because if you get news now, it likely will be bad ones.

bump

Anyone know anything new? He was practicing(as seen in todys practice vid), so I'll take that as a positive.

no contact practice most likely

As much as people want to give up on Ian, that isn't going to happen. The Spurs have invested far too much time into him to just let him walk now. For better or worse, the Spurs are stuck with him. I just hope they can get some type of production out of him before his injury-prone body breaks down again, this time in a different place. I am willing to wait to see what happens, but I am not expecting anything spectacular from Ian. He isn't the cure to what ails the Spurs, athleticism and youth, if he is spending most of his time recovering from injury to injury. People need to face it, he is injury prone. Some players are going to be suspect to that and he is one of them. Too late to get rid of him now. Just have to make the best out of a bad situation.

When you consider the rest of the team and how much gas we have left, or how long our window is open, yeah it is never too late to just wring your hands of this project.

Giving up on a guy would be a really great idea when he's just finally getting close to coming back from a severe injury. The Mavs did that with Kurt Thomas. How'd that work out?

Technically it wouldn't even be considered a serious injury.

How exactly is that?
