Will Kawhi sit on the bench during the playoffs?

He showed up for the team picture.

Can somebody shoot duncan2k5 in the head please ?

I cant stand seeing him spamming same over and over

If spurs win he may come for the final game and take a picture... who knows...

No sense breaching a $19,000,000 contract.

I’ve said worse case for Kawhi is team gets to WCF without him. I’m confident the Spurs have a realistic chance to beat the rockets in the first or second round.

Dude - that’s way too far.

[jbspurs]

I honestly hope he doesn't. If I was on the team I wouldn't want him there. He had all season to be there and show support and didn't. Why start now?

Exactly! He doesn't care about fans and teammates. Other stars will be on the bench, to support team and keep fans informed on what is going on. I hope the Spurs trade him to a lottery team.

[John B]

They’re in so no reason to play or sit in the bench. I think Kawhi went to NY to get that okay to be back and steal that game 1 from Dubs without them expecting Kawhi back. It has 2014 written all over it. Go Spurs Go

[offset formation]

Let me clarify my point since it went over your head. He hasn't done enough to clarify what is going on with his injury. If he did, his own teammates wouldn't need to call a meeting to get a status report. If he did, there wouldn't be media reports of him coming back on a certain date only for it not to happen. His last presser he said he was expecting to come back soon and we're one game before the playoffs and it still hasn't happen. Imagine if Kawhi played for NY or LA, there is no way the media would allow this bs to continue and I'm not talking about the injury itself but his approach of not communicating what the is going on. I've never seen anything like it. As a fan of his and the team, it has been a real disappointment.

Pretty much, exactly this.

I wonder if there is any chance that Kawhi, his uncle or "group" told PATFO that he'd be asking for a trade when the season was over, but they informed the Spurs relatively recently, and after this season's deadline. At that point maybe Pop decided it was best to have Kawhi away from the team.

Not sure that is likely for many reasons, including Kawhi would be ending any chance at the supermax. But if the Spurs already told him the supermax was not happening, that could be a reaction.

All BS speculation on my part. But writing this up beats actually doing my job. If Kawhi doesn't have to work, why should I? I don't make 19 mill....

No. This is all a convoluted explanation you are coming up with to explain Kiwi not caring about showing the fans and team support in that way. Pop asking him to stay away doesn’t make any sense.

[UZER]

You’ve got to remember, half the stuff Pop does doesn’t make sense.

Pop said out of his own mouth that sitting on the bench is great, but it is much more productive to be using that time rehabbing

Pop was covering for Kawhi when he said that. Kawhi doesn't need to rehab 24/7... he can attend a game if he wants to.

[Keepin' it real]

But Kawhi is a millennial, and the Spurs hurt his feelings with that team-only meeting. So Kawhi now retreats to a safe space during Spurs games.

Poor Kawhi, a bullying victim if ever there was one.

Guys from Compton aren't "Millennials." (Especially guys with cornrows.)
