One week into Tim Duncan's recovery from a severely sprained right ankle, the Spurs are still aiming to get their two-time MVP back for the final week of the regular season.
"He feels a little less pain every day and he walks a little bit straighter every day," coach Gregg Popovich said. "But he's still a ways out."
Duncan is walking with a slight limp. He is expected to begin doing some light treadmill work this week.
Same old, same old: If NBA officials are interested in improving the league's TV ratings, they probably aren't hoping for a Spurs-Houston matchup in the playoffs.
In only one of the Spurs' four meetings with the Rockets this season has the winning team scored more than 81 points.
The Spurs held Houston to a season-low 70 Sunday. The Rockets held the Spurs to a season-low 67 in their Jan. 15 victory at the Toyota Center. Houston has averaged only 76.3 points in the teams' four games, more than 18 below its season average.
Rocket fizzles out: Houston guard Tracy McGrady scored a game-high 26 points, but none in the final 10 minutes.
Bruce Bowen and Manu Ginobili split time on McGrady, who played with a strained hip, in the final quarter.
History-making day: The Spurs set a season high for fan contests won during timeouts.
Restraint shown: In the first minute of the fourth quarter, Rockets center Dikembe Mutombos watted a shot attempt by Spurs' guard Brent Barry into the second row of the stands.
Ordinarily, Mutombo would have given his trademark "no-no" finger wag, but he said he restrained himself, out of respect for the Spurs and for his teammate, Jon Barry, Brent's brother.
classy move from Dikembe, still think he's one of the classiest guys in the NBA.
your kiddin right.classy move from Dikembe, still think he's one of the classiest guys in the NBA.
The guy who wags his in finger after blocking someone's shot??
The guy is a prick.
Look up his quotes in the 03 Finals, equally as assfaced.
The video on WOAI Sports Sunday Don Harris showed of Tim Duncan's ankle at practice a week after the injury was telling. It looked like a baseball inside his skin where the ankle is supposed to be.
I don't think that video was shot today. But yes, his ankle was still very swollen.
Swelling doesn't go down in a week. In two weeks, it won't even be noticeable.
Just keep hoping...
What therapies and drugs do they apply to mid-season-injured $1M/month ankles?
lets see...Duncan is walking around at games with no crutches, going to work on a ing treadmill this week, and Pop says Duncan will be back with about 5 games left as of yesterday
yet DuncanMVP claims he is out for the season
LakerGod is out for the season...
Bryant was out for 4 1/2 weeks, Jan 13 to Feb 13, and he was on crutches.
It's most likely Duncan's ankle won't be back to normal until next season. Hopefully in the playoffs he has a decent amount of explosiveness and lateral mobility and hopefully he doesn't turn that weakened ankle again.
If TPark were running the league, it would have folded years ago. He believes in no emotion, no fun, just robotic play. Dare to show some excitement, some trash talk, and you are expelled from the league forever. TPark would even advocate putting such players in a penal colony in Australia, never to return to the USA again, if they break the rules.
BTW, Dikembe is a class guy. He goes to Africa ever offseason for a month to work and help the all the children who are starving and suffering from diseases, while most athletes are on the golf courses and beaches, in all the 4-5 star resorts around the world.
We don't have to, we'll leave that to you.. Enjoy the playoffs!
Dikembe is a classy individual, not a classy player.
But he wags his finger!
Right. Every ankle injury weakens the muscles and tendons. Until it is completely healed (which can take months), the likelihood of another injury is increased. That's why his ankle was hurt for the umteenth time this year although this is the most serious so far.
If he is able to come back for the playoffs, pray it holds up..
Ducan is done, if he does come back he will hurt himself again
This is great news and reinforces all these psuedo experts like the Memphis paper and hoopsworld.bs that always play prognostic "doctor" without examing the patient or getting a good history.
(Swelling for extended periods is common after grade II sprains, I would have expected no less)
TD will be back for sure by the April 10th Golden State game.
I don't have your confidence for any particular game, but I believe based on what I know about therapy (was a physical therapist years ago and iin general the rehabilitation time for athletes is much better today due to more aggressive treatment) he will be back sometime before the playoffs at least for limited minutes.
TD will be playing at 70% at best
OHHH contradicting yourself hmmm. So your saying he will be back just not
100%. Interesting... Duncan will be back.
how will a damaged Duncan help us win a le?
DuncanMVP do you post any where else?
maybe more scoring and blocking shots
