Tim Duncan Injury vs. Wiz (Update: Sprained Left Knee and Sprained Right Ankle)

[timvp]

Rondo also bent his elbow 90 degrees the opposite way and his career wasn't over

tbh not a good comparison to compare someone to that freak Rondo

Didn't Rondo come back later in that same game after that disgusting backwards bend of the elbow?

Yeah Rondo is some kind of rubber superman plus hes what 25?

I remember when I was 25 I could take anything, now at 30s its a whole different ballgame. It's definitely a good sign Duncan stood and could "walk".

but still, I'd brace for the worst.

lol, thanks timvp, i needed that

Stephen Jackson: "I don't know what's happening with Tim but I saw him walk out of here, so that's always good."




You can still walk even on a serious knee injury but it's relatively good news that he's apparently not in a wheelchair or on crutches or anything.

The ankle sprain and knee sprain without any ligament damage means that Tim probably won't play again in February IMO..Sean himself also said that Tim will probably "take a few weeks off"(although like timvp said, he probably doesn't know anything of substance yet)..

If he returns by the first week of April, I'll be relieved..

FWIW: players in the locker room seem optimistic.

Parker said he spoke to Duncan after injury. Take it with grain of salt, but was in good spirits, doesn't appear to anything too major

Let us hope.

Looked bad but he's had a couple injuries that looked serious where he was back relatively quick. That Warriors game back in 2011 he suffered a bad looking injury but was back in like a week or something. Hoping for the best.

I'm just hoping for any return. I don't care if Duncan takes the next two months off. It will probably hurt our record, but I just want a healthy squad.

[Andthentherewas21]

Maybe its the homer in me but, April 4th @ OKC, mark it down. The return of 21!

Now we 'll see how great TP is

The argument can be made that the Spurs would rather be precautious than to allow TD to further aggravate the injury. Just a thought.

I've had a basketball knee injury before, and it wasn't even an ACL tear, just a sprain. was one of the worst pains I've experienced in my life. The fact that Tim is mobile and walking on his own is great news.

[HI-FI]

damn, i didn't watch the game, i was out and about. i haven't even seen the injury, just logged in and saw the news.

hope and pray for the best. not much more to add really.

[spurraider21]

knowing s bag stern he'll fine Duncan for flopping on that play

[ElNono]

If he's back in late March I'm buying that knee brace a beer, tbh...

[lefty]

I guess we'll have to sign Oden after all. so he can share a hospital room with Timmy

My friend tore her ACL in November of 2011. She didn't even realize it and only got surgery done 8 months ago.

[PingPong]

You are too negative tbh...

[timtonymanu]

What was the overall at ude of the Celtics' players and Doc after the game where Rondo hurt himself? Before the ACL news?

i'll buy it a bottle of tequila

[Obstructed_View]

why did he come back 2day??

the wiz are terrible he could have sit another game

Yeah, but it was a fluke. Could have happened any time. You're still at anger/bargaining.
