He is sitting on the sideline in warmups, with obvious wrap around his abdomen.
Looks like Mahinmi's not playing tonight against Idaho. Any update on his injury?

So strained back of some kind or other from the fall last game?
I'm getting the Idaho radioman, he didn't exactly say.
It's weird that they didn't communicate on it at all. Still, that should mean it's not really significant, a one or two games deal at most I guess.
Marcus Williams 21 at the half on 12 shots. Somebody might be calling him up. Hope the Spurs get another look at him next summer.
The Idaho guy just said that Ian was a late scratch, so it's probably not very serious.
Ian was suited up but didn't play. He looked like he had a cushion taped to his back.
Eric Dawson was with the team in street clothes. He must be slated to play at some time during this road trip. I didn't see Kenton Paulino at all -- maybe he's part of this alleged Abluquerque trade.
Anyway, that was a great win for the Toros, beating the team with the best record in the league on their home court with only seven players and no Ian or Langford. Now they are fighting for a 1st round bye and maybe even home court advantage throuout the playoffs.
Yeah, that was a great win indeed.
Too bad Ian could not play, he would have had a -great- matchup with Sene (30pts, 18rbs!).
Did anybody watch the game? Marcus Williams had a good line, but I was wondering how he did defensively. Also curious how his stamina held up, since he played 44 minutes.
Marcus finished pretty strong considering he started out with 21 in the first half and didn't score in the third quarter. He was at his best when the Toros were pushing the tempo. I think they came close to scoring off of every Idaho turnover. His defense consisted mainly of disrupting the Stampede's offensive flow more than shutting down his cover; that was pretty necessary since once the ball got inside to one of their big men it was all over.
It's hard not to be excited about spurs future young frontcourt aka Ian and Tiago.
Still everything to prove, but really exciting next to duncan for the last part of his career.
What's up with Ian.......his numbers are falling and he returns to his fouls problem...?
Mahinmi has a bruised back.
what a ty time for this to happen, he was starting to play so well
6 fouls in 18 mnts i guess he found back his rythme.....
Ian Mahinmi = injury prone
Getting injured this way does not make one injury prone:
Mr Body brings another genius take.
I'm just venting more than anything. Ian has had some bad luck this year. Fortunately the injuries are play-related and not the result of some structural or congenital defect.
He did tweak his ankle a couple of games ago and they sat him even though it seemed he could have kept playing from what little i could see -- the Toros are currently monitoring his minutes closely. They cut him off at 25 minutes in the overtime loss even though he had fouls left. The T-Birds assistant coach talked at length about taking advantage of Ian's injury last night at halftime, saying he's not playing as aggressively because of it.
Twice hurt not even a year gone. Didn't he tear a chest muscle just trying to dunk last summer or something? Injury prone. We'll see if he truly is, but this ain't a good sign.
Tell me: who wouldn't be injured after a hit like Ian took from Crawford?
He has a really sore ass -- not a broken foot or career-threatening knee injury.
Yeah, if anything the fact that he wasn't more seriously injured is a good sign to me, because the man basically fell from 6 feet in the air to his ass
Mahinmi doesn't play today because of his bruised ass.
End of the third quarter :
Toros 85 - Albuquerque 99.
Barrett 24 points, Williams 23 points, Bowen 17 points and 11 rebounds.
And Albuquerque.
First they stole the Springfield Isotopes and now the web streaming doesn't work.
Well. the Toros lost again today. They are in dire need of another big man, as Ian is still limited and as a result there is no interior defense for this team. Neither Kenton Paulino nor Cheyne Gadson played today -- maybe one of them was traded. I noticed the Brave Thunders' season is over -- maybe Jamar Smith could make a late appearance.
