Damn Kawhi Injured...quadriceps tendinitis in his left knee

[ace3g]

Kawhi Leonard will be out 10-14 days with quadriceps tendinitis in his left knee. Leonard won't travel on team's upcoming road trip. #Spurs

per twitter

Leonard was in the locker room last night after the game with his knees heavily wrapped in ice. Had an MRI today that confirmed the injury.

Might open some minutes for Nando if Manu has to play more SF minutes

[bthewigwam]

is that a type of injury that could linger?

[tmtcsc]

Better now than later. Thank goodness for Jack.

[HI-FI]

please tell me this injury is something that can be corrected or dealt with...

he's one of the few giving me hope about this season.

..tshhhh

[DPG21920]

SMH at this. Guys out of shape, guys injured, just frustrating at this point. Hopefully Jax doesn't wear down having to play more minutes...

[playblair]

sign Witherspoon now

[ace3g]

I wonder if Spurs bring in someone for a short stint to add some SF depth.

[loveforthegame]

This sucks. I hope it's not a lingering type of injury.

[phxspurfan]

Whatever, good thing it happened early. They better not rush him back.

[Mr Fundamental]

pff..

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn.

If Neal is OK start him and move Green to SF. So we don't mess with the bench too much. Mills would be the backup PG

[spurraider21]

With a tough schedule coming up its pretty bad timing. But looking at it big picture, having an injury this time of the season isn't detrimental. I just hope it doesn't linger

Dam... Jack has been pretty solid defensively. Wish we had him for the Heat game, but guess not. Looking at the schedule he should be back after the road trip for our game vs the Grizz. If guys step up, we should be able to take care of this road trip.

I hope Pop doesn't try to convert Bonner into a small forward.

It sounds worse than it really is lol, I was reading up on it and it can become chronic but only if the person affected continues to run, jump etc. on it. All Kawhi needs is rest and it should heal up no problem.

This is what the Toros have:

JaMychal Green
Tyler Wilkerson
Wesley Witherspoon

Bad news but if it's only a two weeks injury without long term consequences, it isn't a big deal.

I'm against Spurs signing a player to fill his spot. Giving Kawhi's playing time to Mills, De Colo or even Jospeh will help Spurs FO to better evaluate what they have, what they need and what is expandable.

[justinandimcool]

more minutes for Manu

[Spur|n|Austin]

Well ..

[timvp]

Wow. This sucks.
