Really? And what do you expect to get in return for him right now?
Good thinking.
Even Manu realises it's gonna be longer than 6 to 8 weeks by telling us he's un-certain if he can start training straight after. Looking a lot like December start as in resuming training. He's probably going to need a reconditioning and strengthning regimen for the ankle first.
So going by this Manu suspected he might need surgery but took a short term solution that allowed him to play in the olympics . Atleas he's honest and at peace with it.San Antonio – Here I am, back in San Antonio, happy with the Bronze medal won in the games and ready to face a new season on the NBA. After I arrived they immediately did an MRI on my left ankle, more than anything to check how the ligament looked, if it was bigger or smaller than last time we checked or if it was damaged. Basically, the studies indicated that it’s just like it was two months ago when I got the first MRI. It is not worse which is important. Now the thing is it is not better either, and it looks that the only way for a total recovery is to undergo arthroscopic surgery.
Apart from this situation I am in peace, I knew what was in stake; the plan was to be part of the Olympic Games and then, if I had any sort of pain, I would need to get surgery. It is not a surprise, and it is not that today I am saying “Uh I never thought I’d get an arthroscopic intervention!”
The less i read about this the better.

Leo Guitierrez told in an interview to Ole that Manu probably won't play anymore with the NT... Nocioni, Scola and Delfino will...

- Will the golden Generation have new components to replace you?
We'll have new faces for sure and some people won't be back like Manu. After the injury he had, San Antonio won't let him play with us anymore. Chapu (Nocioni), Luis (Scola), Carlos (Delfino) and I will be there though. And the ones that will join us have NT level. It was demonstrated on Las Vegas. With the argentine mentality that is a winner and is not afraid we have enough to keep ourselves up there.
I dont think anyone should freak out, as long as he has no infection set in after the operation he should be practicing within 6 weeks and in game shape by early Nov.
This could be a good thing for the spurs. One it would give more mins to Mason, Udoka and maybe Hill while shorting Manus season which could mean he will be much fresher and healthy for the playoff run.
Mason will get to settle in as the starting SG with Fin and Udoka and Hill getting backup mins and in Hill and Masons case getting experiance in the spurs system.
Still I think it would be a good idea to look at signing K Snyder or trading for a wing player as insurance incase Mason turns an ankle early on. We need to consider if something happens to him we would be very thin at the 2 and be forced to play Fin big mins again and we all know how that will work out.
Update on Monroe report

Though Ginobili on Thursday told an Argentine newspaper he expected to return to action six to eight weeks after the operation, sources familiar with the procedure say it is much more likely he will be out for two to three months. That makes it unlikely he can be ready for action when the Spurs open the regular season Oct. 29 in a game at the AT&T Center against the Phoenix Suns.
Is he healed up yet? I've been waiting for almost a week now.
Looking at a late November / early December return.
It could be worse.
agree 100%
like I said earlier dec is the month he will be back
be late jan or feb he will be in game shape
early December means middle December.
Nothin wrong with that.
Finley, Mason, and Udoka can carry that load till then.
If the surgery is done this week, that gives him all of Sept. and Oct.-- two full months to heal, and then all of November to get into playing shape. That's three full months, which is the high end prediction for the less optimistic prognosis. Early December would be fine. At the end of Nov., the Spurs will have played 16 games. Hopefully, by then, they are 10-6 and Roger Mason is everybody's favorite new Spur.
Let's all just shut up please! And let Manu be! Just pray for his faster healing than keep ing about him going to the olympics. Then you can stop worrying about the precious Spurs.
excuse me manu is a part of the big three
POP will make sure he is healthy and baby him along
pop needs a healthy manu in the playoffs
and who the heck are you

The church of manu grows worse.
productivity.
The church of manu grows worse.
As long as Pop gives Mason his minutes instead of Finley, we'll be fine.
Oh, and all you Argentinian ers who were nutting on the board about him stepping up for Team Argentina, you.
You won't be saying it here anymore.
Good night, freak.
Manu will have surgery on the ligaments marked in red------
Well, I hope that the Spurs can do well enough without at the start of the season. For some odd reason I get the funny feeling Pop won't let him play until after the all-star break. Maybe it's a crazy notion, but it could be Pop's way of saying "I told you so!" with the cover of 'making sure that ankle is 100%'. After all, that is what I would do to make a statement without making myself look like a total .
You are right we shouldn't worry about the Spurs anymore. Welcome to Ginobilitalk.com
I feel so embarrassed to see all these bashing to our own player when Manu has always gave us his 200% since day1.
Some of you treat him like a paid slave and who can never have his own thinking nor can go any where unless you let him to. I imaging he will probably be bashing too if he just got hurt by choking a pizza, because he is so wrong and should absolutely do nothing to jeopardizes your chance for the rings.
The guy should never have his own dream unless it’s your dream.
No matter how those guys hurting, bleeding, sweating, playing so hard on the court, when they are up they are good, but when they are down they are useless for you anymore.
All those bashing and trade talk will be flooded all over the internet, it is so easy by just typing on the keyboard but the words can be mortal somehow before you realized it.
I always feel proud as a San Antonion and the Spurs fan, not because of how many rings that this town has. It is because of those very unique and devoted players we have and the family feeling in the Spurs and our fans has their most friendly and classy way to show our love and support to our own team and other’s team too actually.
Now I feel like we are even worse then the MAV’s or PHX’s fan! They are harsh to against other team’s player, but we are harsh to against our very own team’s player!
I love my Spurs and I love Manu, I will never treat them like a ring machine.
Watching them happily playing the games is the most enjoyment for me and I will treasure these moment all my life.
For all those people who really loves Manu, we shall praying for him and hope he will always be happy and healthy.
For all those people who don’t like Manu, at least you can do is give him a nicer feeling so he can heal up quickly and be your ring machine again!
