Kawhi could need off-season surgery to repair torn ligament in hand

[apalisoc_9]

If it's really the transverse carpal ligament, then the spurs are screwed. I've had a similar injury in the past and although you can play with it, it's not exactly a good experience. Pretty sure, you can still Palm the ball, and do everything once your hand gets warm..The problem is after the game. Everytime you play, it is as if you just got the injury.

Ouch.

Hm starting to sound scary tbh, if Beli starts at the 3 in the POs we may have well not even play the series...

Every time I come here, it seems his injury has gotten worse. lol Everyone just chill out, in typical Pop fashion, he's taken a small but painful injury and convinced you guys that Kawhi is on his death bed. They're probably just waiting for January and then I expect everyone to be back.

He will play when he can play and all we can hope for is that other players will step up until he gets back.

Are you serious? You've had the same injury?

How long did it take to heal? Did you have to have surgery? If so, what was the recovery time?

I have no idea If I have the same injury. I'm just going by Shatsfarians words...We don't know Leonard's inury.

But I didn't play any ball for over a month. When I got back to playing, it was still painful but tolerable..Once the hands gets warm, you wouldn't really notice the pain.

In about two months time I didn't feel the pain anymore, but It was obvious I didn't have the same Strength in terms of Grip..

I got fully healed after about 4 months..That's when I started to feel " Normal".

Again, we don't know if Kawhi has the same injury..If he does, that might be a good thing since that means he can be fully healed come playoff time...Maybe even sooner with better Medical access.

Keep in mind though, I played like once a week so that might have helped me recover faster.

I didn't get surgery.

And against the freaking weak Jazz. I think he'll end up done for the season.

shut up got

Probably acquire LeBron instead of maxing Kl in the summer. Bring back the diminished Kl on the cheap and hope he can be a solid bench player.

[wildchild]

Probably trying to find a way to lower the prize

They have already found the way, keep him playing injured, no-surgery until the summer...

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs without Kawhi will be gonne after the first round.

Or, maybe won't make the playoffs

[Chomag]

If its as bad as it sounding I think they should get the surgery now. Doing this game to game is not helping Spurs or KL right now. But honestly the whole story sounds fishy to me the way info keeps coming out. So much strange misinformation. I hope its not to bring down his value, that would be kind of wrong lol

[TheGreatYacht]

So what's gonna happen, tbh? He better not be holding back on the surgery because of Free Agency. The sooner this goes under the knife, the better.

They said it was a possibility, not a necessity. The way his shooting came around the second half of the season outside Games 5-7 suggests he's fine.
