Spurs announce Kawhi out indefinitely

[ernest787]

Sorry for the late reply. It was junior Miller that made the statement. It was in the 7am segment this morning. They were talking NBA and they brought up kawhi and how him being out is bad for the spurs.

Junior then said he spoke to a source within the organization and that is what they told him.

Sorry if anything like this has already been posted but I haven't been able to read the board in a few days and have just a few minutes to post before I have to pretend to work...

Dallas radio host, who is a big spurs fan, just said he spoke to a source he has with in the spurs. This is what he was told about the kawhi injury

- There is serious angst amongst the spurs and kawhi over the injury. Kawhi feels the spurs mishandled the injury last year and is now using his own doctors for treatment

- Because he's not using team doctors the spurs have been silent about him bc they don't have much information themselves and are kinda in the dark

- The reports they have are not good. They are saying it's severe tendinitis and are using words like diseased and degenerative

- There is real fear that kawhi will never be able to play 82 games again and that he will likely deal with this for the rest of his career.

- Finally, he said he was told to expect kawhi to be out at least 4 to 5 weeks this go around.

So yeah. That's the info he dropped. Hes not a random dude and I fully trust he has sources that are in the know on this stuff. If it's all true 5uts super depressing

damn this means porzingod is off the table now too damn.

call up chitown get the whitie rookie + mirotic + unprotected 1st round pick. that's probably the best haul available right now tbh

Why doesn't Wikileaks hack the Spurs servers instead of all this government BS. I want the truth. (Or at least the Kremlin approved truth).

‘I love it especially if it’s later in the season!’

[SAGirl]

I thought Kawhi said he didn't have this injury last season? I don't know who to believe anymore.

And how the did he injure this to begin with? He went from an ankle injury and missing the rest of the playoffs, to his off-season routine and suddenly when he hits camp, he can't play because of vague pain in his quad. Pain so bad he was out 3 months. Came back for 9 games here and there and is out again maybe for the season. Weirdest injury I have ever seen.. Who gets hurt like this in the off-season?

It has never been disclosed exactly when and how he injured it as far as I know...
but I dug up this news report from that first interview Kawhi himself gave to let the fans and media know he was soon to come back to play...
see for yourself:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...but/108320142/

1. First of all, he said the injury,

which was due to "wear and tear," began to bother him in the offseason.

2. He also said,

"The next day, how recovery feels, and just based on how I feel is when I'm going to be released to play,"

[spurs10]

Maybe it was after this last flare up that he went to outside sources. Sounds horrible. Bad news when season ticket renewals are beginning. Probably peopl3 are jumping ship.

I concur.

I see what you did there...and I like it!

Just tweeted at this host to see if he will give more insight. Not expecting a response but if he does I will share it here. If anyone else follows him on Twitter maybe you could tweet at him as well and maybe he will respond to someone. I'm talking about this Junior Miller. Never heard of him until today but was able to track him down on Twitter

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Uh ok. What are they supposed to do? Make Kawhi magically heal? If Harden goes down, HOU is out in the first round. If Lebron goes down, CLE is out of the playoffs. LMA has them doing better than any other team besides GS would do if they lost their Kawhi level player.

This. LMA has been playing phenomenal this season and he deserves all the praise.

spurs clandestine tendencies coupled with ST's speculative nature makes for an apocalyptic thread.

Of course his physical problem is serious and most likely chronic

The poor bas cannot even wipe his ass let alone get off the toilet. Youd have to be a complete re to think its not a major chronic poblem.

It is what it is. This season is most likely lost. Sure he might come back but will be ty. All we can do is hole there is a resolution early enough in the offseason.

How could the Spurs have mishandled the injury if it is as degenerative and inexorable as all this sounds?

Was there a way to avoid this? It's sounds like no.

Regardless, if this report is correct (a big "if") might we be headed for a Bill Walton/Trailblazers meltdown?

Let's hope not.

Cut this scrub.

The internet, where anyone can say anything. What time was the show on? Host name? I’m sure if this actually happened someone would have written about it.

On this pushing him away from Spurs, they probably have done the BEST job of any team in terms of injury management and not overtaxing players. He certainly realizes there are organizations out there that would look out for wins / short term and play him through this. Pop ain’t Thibs.

According to the OP it is Junior Miller. I tweeted at him but have yet to hear anything. If what he says is true, it will get out on social media. A little irresponsible of OP to post what he posted without name, info, time, etc. Probably just trying to rile up SpursTalk haha.

[ernest787]

Again. It was on the ticket in Dallas. The host is Craig Miller.

I posted bc I trust him and has weight in the industry. Hes not one to typically break news but it doesn't surprise me that he would have a source with the spurs either.

Anyway. People can take what I posted how they will. I decided to share it bc I figured not many on this board would have heard any if this.

Also segment was at 650 or 7 am this morning.

Does he respond to tweets? I asked him for clarification on those comments.

[Dre_7]

Also, if what Miller said is true that means Kawhi lied to the media

don't be discouraged PATFO slurpers can't handle the truth tbh

[superbigtime]

If his knee hurt he shouldn't have gone to fukn China. WTF

[ernest787]

I dunno. I never tweet him but he's not that active with stuff like that typically. Maybe someone else who post here lives in Dallas and heard it. If not maybe someone can dig it up somehow.

[Dre_7]

If Kawhi has been lying I would be very disappointed. It doesn't add up. One of them is lying. I am going to trust Kawhi over Miller since I have never heard of him until today and Kawhi has been honest since coming to SA in 2011 until there is proof of what Miller said being true.

[ernest787]

How did this turn into kawhi is lying?
