    What is the deal here? How can he still have an ankle sprain since August? Manu was operated on and returned in less time? Has Pop just written him off? The press doesn't even update his progress or lack of. Why not just waive him?

    If I am not wrong, spurs sent him to see a specialist in LA, about his angle not getting well for such a long time.

    OK, here's the scoop but I am going to have to go into hiding after I tell you because Pop will have me shipped to and tortured in an eastern European country if finds out I said anything....

    Ian is healthy. He has been secretly training with David Robinson and Artis Gilmore at the Spurs practice facility in the wee hours of the morning. Word is he is more dominant than big Dave was at this age and they are going to activate him right before the deadline for being on the roster for the playoffs.

    But you can't tell anyone.

    Despite the trolls, I'm wondering the same thing. Anyone want to give a serious answer?

    They sent him to a specialist because they weren't sure why there was blood [sic] in his ankle. Blood was a translation from a french article so I'm wondering if it meant scar tissue. If there was pooling of blood in his ankle then that's very bad. If it was scar tissue then not as bad. As for the sentence, "Why not just waive him?" well I don't think anyone should take that seriously.

    I guess I should clarify. If it's blood pooling in the ankle and they don't know why, then that's bad. If they know why (certain blood vessels are leaking/rupturing) then they can probably fix it.

    Re-read his second paragraph and think real hard about what you're asking.

    Right, I never thought we should waive him, I just seriously didn't know why it was taking so long for an ankle. Thanks

    Yes, Ian learns via Powerpoint presentations through webinars from A-Train in Jacksonville.

    OK --don't waive him and don't trade him to Houston for nothing. My point was that he is a cast member of LOST. I'd like to at least have the press inquire as to his status: Not this year but we love his potential for 2009. Any INTELLIGENT clarification would be an improvement. The guy hasn't played that much in his career and has an ankle that requires a year to mend. Why?

    They have been asking. Pop says he doesn't know anything and when the trainers let him know, he'll let the press know. Ian had been participating in non-contact drills maybe 3 weeks ago. Haven't heard much about it since.

    I heard of this one guy, not sure if he's done anything, by the name of Manu Ginobili.

    What has happened to spurstalk? It used to have a not-awful ratio of interesting posts vs. cover-your-eyes-and-moan stupid posts.

    As the caveman says, Next time do a little research, OK?
